Beers

Diagnoses are often used to alienate those diverging from social norms. A narrow concept of normality and an urge for comfort keeps too many socially marginalised people away from the labour market. The consequences are both expensive and devastating for the people affected. At People Like Us, we are creating jobs for those given up on by others.

Pale Alienation is a part of our “Simon Says” beer series..

Usually available on: 30 l. kegs.

Do you work in a bar, restaurant or another public place, or do you need it for a public event? Then you’ll have to order it through our distributor Det Belgiske Hus.

The beer is named after the work “Une Saison en Efer” – a season in hell – by the French poet Rimbaud. It also refers to our beer developer’s time in the brewery “Djævlebryg” (Devil’s Brew).

Usually available on: 33 cl bottles

The puzzle piece is widely recognised as the symbol of autism. The idea behind it is that autists are puzzles to be solved. That is bogus, of course. We are not sick people waiting to be cured. The world has changed, not us. We are people, not puzzles.

Usually available on: 33 cl bottles and 30 l. kegs.

Autists are often described as showing “stereotyped behaviour”, but that is pretty much the case for everyone else as well. The concept of “small talk” can seem just as pointless to a lot of autists as our traits might seem to you. For some, shaking hands can lead to sensory overload. But maybe, this beer can bring us closer together.

Stereotypical Lager is a part of our “Simon Says” beer series.

This beer was a limited edition release, only to be purchased at the Goose Island Taproom in Chicago on June 25th 2017.

To hand out everything your little elves struggle to make without any charge, you must believe that there are still some nice people left. Unfortunately, Santa Claus stopped believing a couple of years ago. People are way too hypocritical, even on Christmas Day. Please prove this white bearded guy wrong.

Usually available on: This beer is no longer on the market.

Sadly, Santas Misanthropic state of mind was too strong to be overcome by this beer. His bitterness ended up permeating the bottles and kegs, infecting the beer with an overwhelming aversion to life (and – from a more factual point of view, some of the beer somehow got infected by bacterias, affecting the quality of the beer. Therefore the beer was quickly recalled.)

This oat meal pale ale with sour cherries and almonds is a teasing spring interpretation of the danish dessert Ris A La Mande.

The beer was invented and brewed at York Brewing during the 2 years birthday bash and will be available on 33 cl cans.
Most of the beers will stay in the U.K. A few cans will hit the Danish market.

“Try to close your eyes, cover your ears and shut your mouth. It can make all that unfairness and pointlessness go away. If you could buy an indulgence, too, you would feel responsible, aware and free to indulge in the feast waiting in front of you. But don’t just indulge. Take action.”

Usually available on: 33 cl bottles.

“The wall is built around villages of thought, towns of ideas and cities of potential. Creative matter is held back by rigid and arbitrary procedures. It is built noch einmal even though it never did any good, not the first, not the second, not the tenth, not the fiftieth time.”

What started out as a Berliner Weisse (hence the Wall reference) ended up becoming more like a Sour – but that’s the beauty of living things!

Usually available on: 30 l. key-kegs.

“The wool is growing, infiltrating brains, exclusive herds with mainstream colours are flocking towards exposure of unique normality, freedom is for the one who doesn’t claim it but slowly conforms to the expectations, deviating wool is desperately bleached. That is crooked.“

”Cultural and social norms force desperate, possibly good-hearted but deeply harmful attempts to change different minds. Rewarded is the one who like a dog sits with quiet hands and shut down agency. Toxic is the idea that difference equal disorder. Assimilation is wrong, acceptance is right.”

The first beer in our war veteran project. More than a few war veterans develop pstd after returning from duty and many have a hard time finding their way back to civic society, both in terms of family life and getting a job. We want to help change that. You can read more about the project on our main page under “Veteran Project”.
