(13,616 posts)any idea on how to get more black people into the craft beer biz?
My two cents, it does not matter of you are a brewery or a pizza joint, if you open up in a neighborhood that is black, you should hire a black person if nothing else because you want to access the local customers. Do you really want to depend on the hipsters driving to you in their Prius?
As far as skill, that can be taught, and it is silly to think that the people that invented aspects of American cuisine (such as BBQ) will not take that same skill and in time, produce some truly damned great AA made beer.
Hell, if the talented people that invented true gems of American cuisine like BBQ and Soul Food were given a chance to make brands of beer, ooooh, the mouth waters.
