🌈 Pride Beer Release – This Friday 🌈
"Pay it no mind"
A Glittery Cotton Candy Sour, topped with a sugar rim and a rainbow garnish! This isn’t just a beer—it’s a celebration.

We’re honored to name it after Marsha P. Johnson, a fearless activist who fought tirelessly for LGBTQ+ rights. Her famous saying, “Pay it no mind,”was more than just a phrase—it was a philosophy.

When asked about her gender, Marsha would simply respond, “Pay it no mind,” dismissing the scrutiny and judgment that often came her way. It was her way of rejecting the rigid labels imposed on her and encouraging others to embrace their identities without fear. This mindset carried through her activism, where she fought for the rights of trans and homeless youth, co-founding the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) alongside Sylvia Rivera to provide shelter and support for those in need.
Marsha’s legacy reminds us that authenticity is powerful, and that acceptance should never be conditional.

At Dialectic, we don’t just support you—we stand with you, protect you, and defend you.

Yes, it’s silly that we still have to make this a big deal. But until equality and acceptance are second nature, we’ll keep showing up. Loudly embracing you with everything we’ve got.

You matter. You’re normal. You are so incredibly loved. You are safe with us.

HAPPY PRIDE!
