'Preserve culture, build community, expand palates.' L.A. County commemorates 'Black Brewers Day', honors 'Crowns and Hops Brewing Co.' in Inglewood for expanding Black-owned business.
Supervisor Holly Mitchell helped with a commemoration focusing on what will be one of the county's first Black-owned tap rooms, Crowns and Hops Brewing Co. in Inglewood.
"What a lot of people don't know is that Inglewood was already great. We have this saying that we preserve culture, we build community and we expand palates," said Teo Hunter, co-founder of Crowns and Hops Brewing Co. Hunter says the dream of opening a tap room in the community has been a dream that started seven years ago. One of the reasons why: He says he saw a lack of diversity of Black-owned businesses in the L.A. brewery industry. The new business is paying homage to those who came before them.
"I think it means more exposure to Black community and everything that we're trying to do for each other and uplift each other. Our mission: bridging culture," said Talia Hunter, the co-founder's daughter.
