The murder of George Floyd really set off a spark. And it's a spark that i sincerely hope ignites a fire. In light of the wave of Black Lives Matter protests all over the nation, the wonderful folks at San Antonio's Weathered Souls Brewing, a black-owed brewery, have been teaming up with other brewers all over the world to craft a collaborative charity brew that raises awareness for the injustices that people of color face daily and helps to raise funds for police brutality reform and legal defenses for those who have been wronged. It's a great and important cause and you can find out more about the whole thing here. In the meanwhile, i was fortunate enough to get to try the version from Family Business Beer Company. The 9% ABV beer pours black (naturally) with a tan head and smells of malt, chocolate, and coconut. The flavor is a tasty, roasty mix of malt, chocolate, coffee, toffee, and coconut. It's a great brew, and i'm curious to give all the other variations a try.
