The #BlackIsBeautiful brew we were most excited about was the one from the leaders of the diversity + equality in craft beer movement, @crownsandhops. Their version boasts pecans and lactose - a glorious, rich, dessert stout 🍻 What’s your fave #BIB beer? 📷: @liquidxhappiness (at Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFqp6xYjmLL/?igshid=o0q205hgcxen

Diversity in Craft Beer with Atlantucky and Leaders of the Brew School
Diversity in craft beer is improving, but we still have a lot to do
Leaders of the Brew School (LOBS) is an Atlanta-based organization celebrating people of color in craft beer. The industry has a fairly accurate stereotype of being dominated by bearded white guys, but people of all races and colors love craft beer, and LOBS wants to encourages others to drink, brew, and enjoy.
We're ahead of the curve in Atlanta. There are at least half a dozen black-owned breweries opened or opening in the city. Speaking with members of LOBS they mention that they have new ideas and new flavors to bring to craft. Just like we enjoy foods from many cultures, black brewers want to express their culture through beer.
Even with the boom of black breweries in Atlanta there are still many challenges ahead. Business education, funding resources, and other core needs are lacking in the community. LOBS wants to spread the word on what is needed for true acceptance and growth of black brewers in Atlanta and across the country. The group is actively seeking allies for idea generation, education, and brewing opportunities.
One of the group's most well-known breweries is Atlantucky Brewing, founded by members of Nappy Roots. Fish Scales and Skinny Deville joined us this week to talk about their brewery and their vision. Through various collaborations as part of their Great American Beer Run tour (paused due to Covid-19) they've introduced many new people to craft beer. Their brick and mortar brewery will be opening in Atlanta very soon.

I began working with @teo_hunter on a @phish boxset way back when I started Varnish around 2007-8. We shared our love of music and trick printing and packaging -he helped pull off an insane box set... then we discovered our mutual love of great beer, namely @allagashbrewing Curieux by way of @fathersofficeofficial ... now he and his craft beer partner in crime @benyashburn are shaking things up with their very own brewery @crownsandhops . I love where this friendship and collaboration of creativity and appreciation for the best of the best has taken us. Mega cheers on your first can release. https://ift.tt/3bcl3cm
