About this episode
In today’s episode, we’re tapping into a conversation that blends beer, Black culture, and agriculture in a way that’s both innovative and meaningful. Ale Sharpton, the pioneering force behind BrewGether, joins us to explore how craft beer can be more than just a beverage—it can be a bridge to community empowerment, sustainability, and economic equity. We’ll dive into how BrewGether is making waves by supporting BIPOC farmers, connecting urban agriculture with the craft beer industry, and building opportunities for those traditionally underrepresented in this space. Ale’s mission is about more than brewing great beer—it’s about crafting a better future for our communities.
How does hip-hop and beer intertwine?! Ale tackles fun rapid-fire questions, from pairing hip-hop albums with brews to imagining which legends of the genre would make the best brewmasters. Grab a drink (responsibly, of course), and join us for an inspiring discussion on how culture, craft beer, and change are brewing together.
