Cueni Brewing to celebrate with Rainbow Pride event
DUNEDIN — Cueni Brewing Co. is bringing back the color, creativity, and community spirit for its Rainbow Pride Event on Saturday, May 30, after last year’s celebration drew an enthusiastic response. As Pride week kicks off in Dunedin, the brewery is once again inviting the community to come together for an afternoon of self-expression, craft beer, and support for a meaningful cause.
From 1-5 p.m., guests can design a custom Cueni Brewing Co. Love is Love shirt at the brewery’s tie-dye event. Participants can choose from a crew neck available in youth and adult sizes or a relaxed women’s tank, then select their favorite colors to create a one-of-a-kind CBC shirt that reflects their personal style.
This year, Cueni Brewing Co. will help make the celebration even more memorable with a Rainbow Flight of beer. A portion of the proceeds from the flight will go directly to S.P.A.R.K. Initiative, the brewery’s June charity sponsor, adding a spirit of giving to the festivities.
Those who want to tie-dye their own tee or tank can do so on-site, or for a small fee, one of the event volunteers can create the design for them. No prior tie-dye experience is needed.
The tie-dye portion of the event runs from 1-5 p.m.
