Brighton Gin Launches Progress Pride Flag Edition for LGBTQ+ History Month
12th February, 2026
Brighton Gin, born and distilled in the UK’s most proudly inclusive city, has always championed community, creativity and individuality.
To mark LGBTQ+ History Month 2026, the distillery is releasing a Progress Pride Flag edition, a permanent addition to its range that celebrates visibility, solidarity and the ongoing fight for equality.
The new design places trans, intersex and marginalised voices at the heart of the LGBTQ+ movement, serving as a reminder that Pride is not just a celebration, but a continued commitment to progress.
Founder Kathy Caton MBE said:
“Brighton Gin was the UK’s first LGBTQ+ founded distillery, and we’re incredibly proud of our diverse team and the values that shape everything we do.
This bottle is a statement of allyship and a celebration of a city that leads with love. We will always fly the flag for Brighton and everything it stands for.
Our mission is to take the Spirit of Brighton to the world, and our Progress Pride Flag edition unapologetically does just that.”
The Progress Pride Flag edition is a 700ml, 40% ABV gin, handmade in small batches. It is available directly from the distillery, via the Brighton Gin website, and through selected independent outlets across Brighton & Hove.
