Black Brew Movement, metrobar & Craft Beer Cellar DC invite you to meet and connect with some of the Black brewers of DC, Maryland and Virginia. This is not a panel discussion, but rather a chance for the free flow of conversation. Ask them questions, and they in turn may ask you questions. Sure, you can talk about the beer, but we hope you’ll go beyond the liquid to have meaningful conversations and connections. What is their background? How did beer become a passion and then a business for them? Where do they find inspiration for the beers and styles they brew? What are some challenges they face? What are their goals? Have they seen an improvement in diversity, equity and inclusion in the craft beer industry in the last few years and what work still needs to be done?

Guests will be divided into groups for this event. Presenters will rotate tables every 15-20 minutes, so you’ll get a chance to meet each one.

metrobar will have beer from each of the represented beer brands on the menu for you to purchase, along with food trucks.

Admission is FREE, however, we ask that you register in advance so that we have an idea of how many people will be attending and can plan and staff accordingly.
