City Star Black is BeautifulAlongside nearly 1,000 breweries worldwide City Star Brewing is participating in the Black is Beautiful collaboration. This initiative launched by Weathered Souls Brewing in San Antonio, Texas is a collaborative effort to support justice and equality for people of color. Today City Star releases its version of Black is Beautiful, a blackberry chocolate stout, on draft and in 16oz cans.

City Star co-owner Whitney Way says, “We lack diversity. Our community lacks diversity. It’s no secret the craft beer industry lacks diversity. Berthoud is a predominantly white community, where we are often blind to racial injustice and the challenges that people of color face daily.  Because of our location we feel even more compelled to brew this beer in support of justice and equality for people of color.”

20% of sales of City Star’s Black is Beautiful will be donated to NAACP Denver.  The mission of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination. The NAACP is a long-established, reputable organization, a leader in advancing justice and equality for people of color.

City Star Brewing strives to be a destination that promotes inclusion and equality. Our business is committed to maintaining a welcoming and safe environment for all people- regardless of age, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion or disability.

More about the Black is Beautiful Initiative:

“The Black is Beautiful initiative is a collaborative effort amongst the brewing community and its customers, in an attempt to bring awareness to the injustices that many people of color face daily. Our mission is to bridge the gap that’s been around for ages and provide a platform to show that the brewing community is an inclusive place for everyone of any color. We are asking for all breweries and brewers far and wide to raise a glass with us in unison and participate in this collaboration.” – https://blackisbeautiful.beer/

Black is Beautiful asks breweries to brew a unique stout, commit to the long-term work of equality and choose their own local organizations to donate to that support equality and inclusion. Weathered Souls says, “As much as we want this to be about raising money, the real issue is bringing education and information, which will bring forth change to a system that has fractured so many families and has been broken for decades. This platform and collaboration is about understanding and supporting people of color and inclusion. We ask that you please stand with us to create something that has never been seen before and show the world the brewing community is one of a kind.”
