DC Brau Pride Pils

In a year marked by protests and marches, DC-based artist Alden Leonard chose to “show the juxtaposition of PRIDE, which is both a celebration and an act of protest” when designing his entry in the 2018 Pride Pils Can Design Contest presented by DC Brau and The Washington Blade. His colorful design, featuring three figures in “defiant poses with their eyes fixed on symbols of tradition and order,” will appear on more than 28,000 cans of DC Brau’s flagship pilsner this summer during PRIDE. All proceeds from the sale of Pride Pils cans benefits SMYAL & The Blade Foundation.
