Today’s Guest: Eugenia Brown
Eugenia Brown has quickly become a well-respected influencer in the craft beer space. Known online as @BlackBeerChick, she also runs the account for @BlackGirlsDrinkBeerToo. Through her work with the Pink Boots Society and a personal project that is well on the way to certifying 100 women of color to work in the craft beer industry, Eugenia is constantly helping others to educate themselves and level up in the world of craft. Join us as we talk with Eugenia about her many projects, some of her favorite breweries in the Charlotte area, and do a little dreaming about where we’d all like to travel next for beer.
