In this episode of The Hop Show with Javi, he chats with Teo Hunter, co-founder of Crowns & Hops, a Black-owned craft beer lifestyle brand and brewing company based in Inglewood, CA.

They chat about how Teo’s “Black People Love Beer” brand transitioned into “Dope & Dank”, creating a brewery taproom space in Inglewood, the current Black is Beautiful initiative by Weathered Souls Brewing Co, what it’s like pouring a beer for Garrett Oliver, local breweries’ role & responsibility as community pillars, and so much more.

Teo also hints at the just-announced “The 8 Trill Pils Initiative” a brand new initiative dedicated to achieving racial equity in the craft beer industry, kicked off by a $100,000 grant program backed by BrewDog.
