Does craft beer have a diversity problem? Of course it does....
Given that big beer makers for decades courted male consumers with sexist TV ads featuring women in bikinis, it perhaps surprises no one that the craft beer business has become a haven for white males — most of whom happen to be hipsters. Sadly, what counts as diversity in this industry is the clean-shaven minority mixing with the bearded majority....
While Boston Beer may be mum about what more could be done on diversity, the Brewers Association, the trade group for small and independent American brewers, is not. Since 2016, the association has been on a mission to figure out how the industry can be more welcoming to everyone, whether as a consumer or a brewer.
Measures include updating advertising standards to ban sexually explicit, lewd, and demeaning language, graphics, and images; forming a diversity committee; hiring a “diversity ambassador;” and giving out grants to encourage brewers to promote diversity and inclusion.
Unlike big beer companies, which rely on expensive TV ad campaigns, craft brewers depend on word-of-mouth and grass-roots marketing to build their brands. Through its diversity grants, the Brewers Association is supporting Fresh Fest 2019 in August in Pittsburgh — the nation’s first black brew fest, featuring 28 black-owned breweries, and Beers With(out Beards), an event series in Brooklyn, N.Y., that promotes women in the craft beer industry and women-owned breweries.
>Does craft beer have a diversity problem? yes. too much of it sucks.

beer commercials with women in bikinis? is this 2004?

estrogen water with extra estrogen fucking lmao at these faggots

Only white people are driven enough to risk their careers and start new businesses (and create almost a new industry). From the ground up. WELFARIE DOES NOT WORK Just like you can’t make women be programmers by having women study majors promote coding for women clubs, and having ad campaigns for women coding. Because young women don’t spend all 10 years of thier teenage life tinkering with computers like nerdy or ugly guys do. >diversity grants DIVERSITY GRANTS DONT WORK IF A BLACK GUY WANTED TO CREATE A CRAFT BREW HE WOULD HAVE ALREADY DONE IT WITHOUT THE GRANT THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WELFAIRE GRANT TO PROP UP A RACE and GENDER. Live and die on the market retards, if there are already women and black breweries, then stop acting like they are lesser and need special help to do well, unless you are admitting they don’t do as well as white men? >forming a diversity committee; hiring a “diversity ambassador;” and giving out grants to encourage brewers to promote diversity and inclusion. when will we learn?
Only homosexuals like craft beer. Real men drink fresh american lager like Coors and Bud.
Brayden King
You guys are missing the point. This is about forced diversity in yet another industry. Do you really want white men to have to do it alone while women and blacks get free money to prop up thier business? This thinking effects all white workers in all industries, not just basedbrews.
who cares bro. it's how retarded reality is now. it will collapse on itself, just be ready
Thomas Smith
Sours for girls the rest for who the fuck ever..craft beer has filtered water...it has higher slcohol content..taste better ..more choices..and healthier...tools drink standard poison beer
Haven for white males? You cultural Marxist are trying real hard aren’t you? White people buy just as much shitty beer as your average nigger. If whites actually do drink micro brew more than coons it’s because niggers don’t understand quality. Buy a 3 dollar malt liquor 40oz that I have drink drink all of or do I buy a 10 dollar 6 pack and only have to drink 24 oz of beer because it’s alcohol content is higher(also taste better)
Uhm.. no they don't. They buy that IPA shit. Taste fucking nasty btw, it's white beer.. or should I say "Pale Ale"
Jonathan Ward
You don’t watch craft beer ads you go to bars/breweries and drink it...this is the advertiser jew / sjw trying to make money of the beer makers creation and hard work
>women owned breweries can't compete on the free market without getting an unfair diversity mandate boost haha i dont even know who makes my beer and i dont care because im not mentally ill
Nicholas Reyes
I am pretty sure people who shit on craft brew are just too poor to drink it. Finally America has some good dark beers that can compete with euro beers. Coolers and bud are the weaker palest shit around. And yeah there are craft ipas, but a lot craft brew houses are making dark beers
literally the coors and bud brands are the only co's which use chicks in bikinis.
Logan Sanders
And by calling it "pale ale" or whatever- They'll go into a fit of autism and say it's seasonal draft kambucha stout spiced double IPA oatmeal pumpkin latte gluten free mountain scented triple filtered quadruple non-filtered golden bavarian hopped lagunitas crap just fuck my shit up - it taste like piss and sewage water but I love it Type SHIT
So much craft beer is hops faggotry. I just want some good Dunkels.
Alexander Cox
this is literally retarded. my black homie is the one that introduced me to craft beer. and my other dreaded negro bro loves sours.
Nolan Watson
I bet you have never had a coffee snout or a milk snout or a expensive German beer and are trying to shit on ipas to feel manly while you drink piss water beer.
i appreciate the description. ill try one, 22oz please
Easton Martin
Milk has estrogen too
Thomas Diaz
>drink milk made for cows get a load of this retard
Ian Ross
This. Bunch of poorfag boomers in here who can only afford bud light.
Adrian Cooper
>why are there not enough niggers? Jenkem light.
Wyatt Hall
>paintbrush smegma soap water is a good taste
actually fuck off you dumb fucking yank the only thing you fucking cunts can even attempt to brew is canned spam do us all a favour and run towards a police officer with an excessive tan you fucking mongoloid
How have the leftists not learned yet that you can't fuck with people's escapism? They're such fucking buzzkills, trying to inject their cancer into vidya, sports, TV, movies, and now beer. Don't they understand it drives people into our arms?
Evan Harris
What a trash paper. Like it’s anyones fault niggers don’t care about making beer. What the fuck? Read the Herald instead.
Noah Gutierrez
can you tardos really not see the sarcasm
Josiah Davis
Within 5 years all of you leftist shills will be fleeing death squads for your evil subversions
Brayden King
yeah, maybe a few of these basedboys will realize that they have to promote their own self interest, nothing else will leave them alone.
Thomas Anderson
the explosion of craft breweries in the US is a godsend, the only problem is that so many of the new ones focus on IPAs it's like they try to make the hoppiest beer possible thinking that it tastes good
Jace Harris
Have fun drinking Canadian rice water faggot
Lucas Reyes
Can't stand IPAs, they're too bitter. Hefeweizen master race.
Luis Sanchez
I buy a craft beer strictly for the extra alcohol content most of the time. I won’t pay the extra money for a beer with less or equal kick to a bud light or similar. Sometimes having 2 8% beers and feeling good already is nice.
Parker Miller
who fuckin' cares dude. the beer is here to take away all that shit for a moment.
motherfucker! is there ANYTHING this shit doesn't touch?
Jaxson Rogers
The good ones will expand and dominate, the bad ones will go broke. Except if it is a women or black owned one that goes broke everyone will claim its because of sexism and racism and demand a diversity bailout to ‘keep the industry diverse!’
my local brewery is racist as fuck, those bigots don't have at least 7 niggers pissing in the beer at any one time, and last i checked, not even one spic spitting in the food at the brewpub. fucking bigots, i swear to god, like white people are totally ruining this country.
>Measures include updating advertising standards to ban sexually explicit, lewd, and demeaning language, graphics, and images; forming a diversity committee; hiring a “diversity ambassador;” and giving out grants to encourage brewers to promote diversity and inclusion. lmao all this effort just to sell shitty-tasting beer to trannies and niggers. these "businesses" can't run themselves into the ground fast enough.
Brandon Howard
whites love IPA like a big black dildo up their asshole
Fyi: 99% if not all ""craft beer"" is IPA. **IPA: india pale ale. They make it taste like absolute shit and lemon rinds on purpose because that stank sourness helped keep imported beer from spoiling before refrigeration.. when beer was shipped to India.
crackers should just go sit in the corner and suck on lemon skins.. like just sit on the floor and chew on them with a glass of motor oil. You don't even get a stool for being such a dumb fucking faggot
You don’t have to read liberal trash. The niggers they love so much probably don’t either. Globe is NYT tier. I think the Times even owns them. Kike kvetching propaganda is going to become extreme in the near future I’m guessing. It will touch everything.
Dylan Howard
Craft beer is gross. It's all hops and no malt.
Matthew Bailey
So much superfluous fucking nonsense to make a business do. These people can’t fuck off hard enough. Running a business is hard enough you want to attach this Party bullshit and create horseshit busywork jobs to do it. This is some shit you read about in all those accounts from the Soviet Union. And how it makes everything NOT WORK anymore.
Dylan Thomas
WTF are you talking about? Craft beer has been diverse since the 80's my nigger.
No, 99% aren't IPAs. I tried one and never want another, many other good options.
Leo Butler
You don't really know much of shit about beer, do you? Plenty of craft beer is all over the board, from lambics, to quads, tripels, belgian ales, wee heavys and so on. Just cause you have tunnel vision for IPAs doesn't mean there aren't shitloads of other options from some quality breweries.
Jaxon James
IPAs are the modern art of beer. People only pretend to like it because people around them also pretend to like it
Gabriel Kelly
Dortmunder Gold Lager Eliot Ness Amber Lager Turntable Pils Holy Moses White Ale (New Year-Round) Burning River Pale Ale (Now Brewed With Regionally Sourced Ingredients) Commodore Perry IPA Edmund Fitzgerald Porter this is the year-round list for the best local brewery, and they have monthly seasonal beers.
Adrian Cox
Too many awful IPAs. Torpedo and Dogfish 90 Minute are my go to’s and I can never find other IPAs that are as strong on the malt side. Everything else is packed full of citrus and other fruit shit.
Colton Perry
based. i think most either act like they do, or they appreciate that it only takes one to get a buzz. they taste like ass, but they'll get you drunk.
Nolan Williams
hipsters only do hobbies which minorities hate. they are the true white seperatists
Asher Bell
The American craft beer market is way oversaturated with ipa's. Doesn't mean other options arent available, but the cooler space is usually dominated by that cheap plentiful american cascade hop. Its all so tiresome.
Josiah Hernandez
have treehouse, incel
Zachary Perry
Literally everyone in Africa, Central, and South America drink beer... With Mexico being one of the top World producers.
So WTF is the problem of diversity?
Kevin Perry
>You don't really know much of shit about beer, do you?
I know alot about beer, what you know is pure faggotry. You're loaded with gimmicks, fads and trends. You might as well suck on my peeled back uncircumcised dick because it's like I'm talking to a woman. A roastie bitch from the west that "just has to have" whatever the hell her little gaggle of obnoxious skanks are shilling
Eli Wilson
Based user-san, please bless us with your infinite wisdom.

Jonathan Myers
Beer is awful for you, if you absolutely need to drink just have a shot and be done with it.
i said LOCAL meaning, in my state, its better than most of the other breweries here, and pretty widely available. never had either of them, don't know that i've seen them at the liquor store, i'll look out for the two next time i go. what is each brewer's specialty?
Nigger, real men make their beer. Craft brewing, aka home brewing, is a time-honored lifestyle going back thousands of years and is an explicitly White male occupation. As both a Brewer and a brewer, I keep that culture going. Yes, craft brew sucks because you think it's all IPAs and you hate bitter flavors. The truth is that there are several other types of beer that you might like but won't try. Granted, some beer styles are harder to find. I'm partial to my bitter, a 4.5 session bitter with very light hops. A little roasted barley adds a taste of coffee and a bit of caramel malt rounds it out. I make it in 15 gal batches, single-vessel, like my forefathers did. I keg it in 5 gal kegs and use gravity to dispense. You want some easy tips? Stick around. -John
Andrew Reed
i'd rather actually enjoy my miller high life... thanks though.
Cameron Powell
If you can't make it yourself, you might as well drink Steel Reserve.
What are you waiting for, go wrap your mouth around that bottle to lube it up. Then plug it up your pinkoid ass
Grayson Ross
my thoughts as well. i mean, how many other countries have such a wide variety of beer? the difference between all euro country beers is like 1% extra this bullshit, 2% longer fermentation, stored at -20C instead of -18C...
Evan Rogers
>Uniquely English >Invented because (((they))) were taxing hops too much >Dark as I am White >Literally older than the U.S.
Where were you when you took the Stout/Porterpill?
The only diversity problem is the hipster obsession with IPAs. They are trash beers, you niggers need to get back to stouts, ales, and lagers.
Michael Reyes
Here it's all dudes that look like Charlie Blackmon and ride 40 year old bike frames with new parts. I trust they know brewing science compared to nogs.

Those were the days.
Andrew Gutierrez
You have never drunk a crafted beer.
Charles Long
Craft beer is how you make it. If you bought it from an idiot, yes, it would probably be a shit.
David Reyes
Try genuine draft. It's the same thing as Miller high Life except they filter out the impurities instead of cooking them out. It's better tasting.
Matthew Walker
>every one in Africa drinks beer [X] doubt.
Nicholas Hill
What is this malt liquor? We don't have that, or at least not by that name.
Angel Morris
>Real men drink beer from companies owned by jews! jewishbillionaires.neocities.org/ Number 90 on the list is the chairman of the board of directors for AB-InBev This is basically my view on the matter. I've teetered because craft brewing attracts a lot of bug men who just consume phytoestrogen product and then get excited for next phytoestrogen product. But I respect that brewing beer has a rich European history, and requires at least a modicum of knowledge and skill. Further still, sales of craft beer benefits local communities much more than large multi-national jewish interests and helping your fellow white man should be enough of a reason to take an interest.
Jacob Bailey
Luigi here is right, milk is amazing.
Henry Morales
>Since 2016, the association has been on a mission to figure out how the industry can be more welcoming to everyone, whether as a consumer or a brewer. did they hire a woman in 2016? is this the cause of this?
