To Shaun Harris, co-owner and brewmaster of Harris Family Brewery, the first Black-owned brewery in Pennsylvania, sharing a beer with someone is a way to establish common ground and start conversations that matter; brewing beer is his contribution to the ongoing fight for racial equality. As Harry states, “Everybody’s got to do their part for what they know how to do, and beer is the thing I know how to do.” Alisa Bowens-Mercado, owner and brewmaster for Rhythm Brewing Co. in New Haven, Connecticut, says more: “It’s about awareness. It’s about owning the things we consume.” The disparity between the level of consumerism and the lack of ownership for Black people is also part of her drive. Within the craft beer industry, there has been a growing push for diversification. ONE PINT AT A TIME follows the brewers of several Black-owned craft breweries, exploring the barriers of racism, lack of access, and, in some cases, the “Bermuda triangle of legislation” they’ve faced in order to start their businesses and bring commerce, jobs, and civic pride to their communities. —J.H.
