Notes

My gluten free tribute to Black Is Beautiful – a collaborative brewing campaign created by Marcus Baskerville of Weathered Souls Brewing in San Antonio, Texas to bring attention to social justice issues facing people of colour.

Participating breweries across the US and around the world have brewed the Black is Beautiful recipe – a rich and delicious imperial stout – and are donating profits from sales to charities and community groups supporting social justice reform and racial equality.

Homebrewers and beer drinkers can support the Black is Beautiful collaboration by donating to organizations working towards policing reform, legal defense funding, and anti-racism. Where to start? @naacp_ldf, @aclu_nationwide, @splcenter, @blacklivesmattervancouver, @hogans.alley, @dobetter__bebetter, @quell.now are a few US and Canadian orgs.
