SPRINGFIELD For anyone interested in cold, tasty beer, here are some sobering statistics:
Out of some 8,000 breweries in the United States, only 60, or less than 1 percent, are black-owned businesses. In Massachusetts, a virtual hopbed of craft beer with more than 200 breweries, only about a half dozen are black-owned. One of them is White Lion Brewery in Springfield.
“The fabric of the craft beer trade doesn’t mirror the fabric of the communities we work, play and live in,” says Ray Berry, White Lion’s owner and founder, who sits on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee of the Massachusetts Brewers Guild.
