The NAGBW hosted another illuminating beer discussion this time with Marcus Baskerville from Weathered Souls Brewing the brewer and brewery behind the Black is Beautiful cause.
As with past recaps, here are notes that I found of interest….
- Very hard to get donation data back from breweries. Baskerville has received a skosh over 400 survey replies out of 1,200 participants
- Wal-Mart has entered into selling the beer and that has worked out well so far
- Black is Beautiful has gone into hoodies, chocolate and bourbon
- some days Baskerville has been interviewed from 8am to 8pm
- Baskerville has tasted 45-50 of the BiB beers with Fremont and the Alchemist being noteworthy
- was happy to second heritage breweries like Stone and Russian River join in
- Weathered Souls has the #1 IPA in San Antonio
- the brewery was heavily impacted by the snow storms in Texas and followed other brewery lead said in providing drinking water
- Baskerville was wearing a Laker shirt in SAN ANTONIO!
