A small Mexican brewery has produced what it claims is the world's first beer specifically targeted at the homosexual community.

The beer, which has a slight honey flavour, will initially be marketed to homosexual consumers in Mexico, Colombia and Japan.

The Minerva brewery said that the "Artisan Honey-Ales" would appeal to a section of the beer-drinking public that had so far been snubbed by larger brewers.

"We're out in the market with great respect with the idea of offering a product directed to the gay-lesbian community that has been ignored for too long but is important and very demanding", Dario Rodriguez Wyler, commercial manager for distributors Bodega 12, told the Mexican news agency Efe.

The label on the beer bottles has been designed so that it can be unglued and worn as a symbol of gay-lesbian pride, he said.

The Purple Hand Beer and Salamandra beers are already available in some bars and restaurants in Guadalajara, Mexico City and the resorts of Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos.

Is this being made in conjunction with its “Illegal Alien Beer”....which needs no documentation?

The label on the beer bottles has been designed so that it can be unglued and used as a birth certificate.

Sleeman’s in Ontario (Canada) put out Pink Triangle beer about tne years ago. IIRC, it flopped. Can’t imagine a guy in a bar ordering one.

You really need to fire your marketing team.

They've just cornered 2% of the market! In small, nearly deserted Mexican pueblos. Provided the narco soldiers don't kill them for fun...

"Artisan Honey-Ales"

Coincidence? The infamously unhealthy White House Super Bowl party menu included---White House Honey Ale.

I hope they put it in non-returnable bottles. They aren’t going to want those back.
