Re: “Local Brewers Defy the Lily-White Craft Beer Scene”
I know Tabu and his wife and they are wonderful people. I never thought about the fact they are African American Brewers. I have only thought of them as fellow brewery owners. When we were in the process of opening our brewery, Tabu was ALWAYS there for us to give us advice and encouragement. As for Mr. McRae's comment that the brewer's alliance is all white- it isn't because anyone who isn't white is not allowed into the alliance. I would say, most if not all of us do not see color. EVERYONE who owns a brewery is welcome. We are not in Charlotte, so we found we had to step our foot through the door and make our presence known. I think that is the case for any new brewery. It has nothing to do with color. What Tabu was talking about when it comes to taste preferences has more to do with culture, not color. My family is from Italy. They really didn't drink beer until coming to the US. And even then, they're introduction to beer was Schlitz and Bud. I get what he is saying. It is not about race. It is about culture and what one is exposed to within that culture. 3 Spirits has some great beer and we are proud to have them as guest taps in our brewery!!
