Pride Brew – When a Product Creates Community Impact

Pride Brew is more than a limited-edition beer. The collaboration between Zurich Pride and Bierwerk Zürich connects a consumer product with community visibility and a transparent contribution to Zurich Pride.

More than a limited-edition beer

The partnership turns an everyday purchase into a visible statement of solidarity. Every can sold contributes CHF 0.40 to Zurich Pride; every litre sold in participating hospitality venues contributes CHF 0.80.

CHF 0.40 donated per can

CHF 0.80 donated per litre

From sponsorship to participation

Pride partnerships can easily remain symbolic. Pride Brew was built around a clear and transparent mechanism that gives consumers, retailers and hospitality venues a direct way to participate.

Building visibility through distribution

Selected retail and hospitality partners, including Drinks of the World, SPAR, Hive, Rathaus Café and Cranberry, extended Zurich Pride’s visibility beyond the festival itself.

Why authenticity matters

The collaboration centred shared LGBTQIA+ values, transparent community contribution and careful partner selection — creating value beyond a logo placement.

What brands can learn from Pride Brew

Purpose-led partnerships become meaningful when the contribution is transparent, the values are shared and the community receives more than visibility alone.
