Funbazooka 08/10/18 10:45:16 PM #1:	http://www.nhpr.org/post/african-american-craft-beer-brewers-unite-host-festival-their-own#stream/0 A dozen such breweries will visit Pittsburgh's North Side at Nova Place on Saturday for the daylong festival. Fresh Fest's purpose is to celebrate black brewing talent and emphasize that craft beer, long implicitly seen as white territory, needs to get more diverse. "There is an overrepresentation of white folks on both the production and the consumption side," says J. Nikol Jackson-Beckham, a professor at Randolph College and an expert on diversity in craft beer. Brewing beer has always been a white space in the U.S., and craft beer, an industry now four decades old, followed suit: Its product is mostly made and drunk by affluent white people. Yet after years of double-digit growth the number of craft breweries doubled between 2013 and 2017 -- the industry remains surprisingly monochromatic. African-Americans are 13.4 percent of the U.S. population. But surveys cited by the Brewers Association say that some 85 percent of craft beer drinkers are white, leaving just 15 percent total for black, Latinos, Asians and Native American drinkers. (However, one recent survey found that blacks make up 12 percent of craft beer drinkers.) Even more pronounced is the disparity among makers of craft beer: Potter, who founded the group Black Brew Culture, estimated that out of more than 6,300 independent U.S. breweries, only about 50 are black-owned. That's less than 1 percent and there are none at all in the Pittsburgh region. "That's not a good number, especially when you consider again the consumption side of it, how many people of color actually purchase these beers," says Potter. Potter wants to change both sides of the equation. After his revelation years ago with Sam Adams, the Pittsburgh-area native found his way to East End Brewing, one of the region's longest-running craft breweries. He describes the brewery's staff as beer mentors. "I had no idea of what some of these beers were like," says Potter. "They started breaking down about stouts and porters, Belgians, different kinds of ales, IPA." He got into home-brewing and considered starting his own microbrewery. He learned it wasn't so easy. Potter is an entrepreneur he runs a print shop in Homestead, a small former mill town just east of Pittsburgh but still felt he lacked the funding and know-how that successful craft brewers possessed. And all the ones he knew of were white. "So that led me to start kind of searching around for anybody else of color that is doing this," he says. "Breweries, craft breweries in particular, are seen as a gentrifying force," says Jackson-Beckham. --- "Don't trade your authenticity for approval." -Kanye West <cite>Funbazooka posted [p:906665225] in Apparently...

FrisbeeDude 08/10/18 11:08:54 PM #29:	As a craft beer fan of color (Dogfish Higher Math is my joint) I'm SO here for this. I was with my girlfriend at a brewery that opened up in our neighborhood like 2 years ago and while the beer was good, the ambience clearly was catered to white people almost exclusively. The atmosphere around the craft beer scene could definitely benefit from some black influence. It turns people away when the scene is crafted around mostly white, middle aged Male sensibilities.

I believe these guys are doing it because it interests them but also because they want a safe space away from white people. I doubt they want to keep white people away. They probably just don't want to cater to white peoples other interest while enjoying their hobby. Im sure if white people showed up and were interested in the same topics and things as them they would have no problem with them being there. So far as your concerned, blacks and whites typically won't have enough in common to have friendly discussion over beer? Even if they already have the same interest, craft beer, and could talk about beer at length... at a craft beer festival. Right... Uh, didn't expect this response. I can't tell if you're for segregation or not tbh. Are you saying people should just conform to whatever the 85% of white people are doing during drinking? --- There will always be exceptions. <cite>Lost_All_Senses posted [p:906667385] in Apparently...
