Out of the over 8,000 breweries in the country there are only 60 Black owned and operated breweries. While the beer drinking side of the industry is becoming more diverse, the ownership and production side has maintained its homogeneous roots and is not diverse at all. There is a need for equality in the industry but what we really want is to build equity and ownership in the industry as producers and not only consumers. In a city that has birthed the Black Panther Party, influenced the Hip-Hop industry, created our own lingo and was once one of the Chocolate Cities, it’s a shame that none of the breweries in Oakland are Black owned.
