"Black people dont drink much craft beer
Nearly all craft beer brewers started out as craft beer drinkers, so it stands to reason that if there are to be black brewers, there would have to be black drinkers.
Turns out the latter are few and far between. A recent Nielsen study commissioned by the Brewers Association found that while black drinkers compose 11.2% of the US population, they consume only 3.7% of the countrys craft beer. Compare that with the 80% of craft beer guzzled by whites, who make up 60% of the population, and youll start to get a sense of the size of the divide"

More black craft beer drinkers, the more that will want to brew their own combinations, the more black brewers.
