Join Boston Ujima Project in partnership with Lamplighter Brewing Co. for a virtual conversation between Black brewery owners in Eastern Massachusetts.
This conversation is moderated by James Vamboi with Kevin Merritt (Crue Brew Brewery) and Eval Silvera (Brockton Beer Co.) about the history and present state of Black folks brewing in Massachusetts, the realities of running a service industry business in the pandemic and the place a brewery has in a community.
