Three years ago, the nation reached a boiling point. People saw Texan George Floyd die a slow death with a Minneapolis police officer’s knee on his neck. It brought up past injustices and issues of racial inequality back into the national conversation and into the streets in numerous protests.
It was that environment that inspired Marcus Baskerville, co-owner and director of brewing operations at San Antonio’s Weathered Souls Brewing Co., to launch an initiative of positivity using beer.
“You reach that point where I felt like enough was enough, but what could I do in the space that I have? You know, I just make beer for a living. And I’m in a predominately Caucasian industry. So, what can I do?” Baskerville says in the new documentary “Black is Beautiful: Short Film.”
