craft beer, indigenous style
When an industry fails to reflect the community, it falls short. That’s the case for everything from fashion and music to the craft beer movement. Diversity in production honors the diversity in consumers.
In terms of beer, it’s long been a white and male dominated affair. Lately, marginalized folks have made strides and craft beer has partnered up with some organizations doing great work. But so much work is left to do.
When’s the last time you had a beer brewed by an Indigenous community? Chances are good that you haven’t. But it’s not just the fact that the industry could stand to be more inclusive. It stems from some repulsive federal policy first put on the books in the early 19th Century.
Times, they are a-changing. Meet Talking Cedar Brewery & Distillery, the nation’s first Indigenously-run beer and spirits producer. While the label has been around for nearly ten years, it’s really hit its stride as of late and remains a genuine pioneer in the Indigenous beer and spirits realm.
