This event will highlight African American Breweries from all over the United States. Join us for: The Taste of Black Beer, Wine & Beverages @Yumvillage May 28th & 29th 2pm -8pm Presented by @Tasteofblackspirits @c @preciousvana @willenterprise Featuring @drinkcajunfire Afro- Caribbean style Burgers , Tacos and Fries BEER Did you know? Peoples Brewing Company was one of the first Black-owned breweries in the nation and the first Black-owned brewery in Wisconsin, a state with a storied brewing tradition. In fall 1970, Theodore “Ted” Mack led a group of African American entrepreneurs to purchase Peoples, based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Even with all of the new efforts put in by the community of brewers throughout the nation, however, it’s difficult to ignore the fact that only 1 percent of all craft beer breweries in the U.S. are Black-owned. But, that’s something the entire community vows to consistently work to change. “The biggest obstacle is still funding and also distribution.” Can you imagine if we had access to our own distribution infrastructure? Regardless of these obstacles, however, Black brewers continue to make history in the under-represented space: with the ambition to reclaim a space that the Black culture originated, you can expect to see that number increase sooner than you think. #everyday Salute to you, we can't wait to see you in Detroit!
