We Came: For over a decade we visited and supported local breweries in Michigan while experimenting with our own home brews.
We Saw: The craft beer industry was full of flavor, community, and creativity. The passion that brewers, owners, and staff put in creating a unique experience was refreshing. What we didn’t see was diversity and things that spoke to the culture that we represent.
We Cultured: Black Calder Brewing Company was established to make great beer and provide a platform for innovation, art, culture, and inclusion through collaborations in the craft beer industry.
As Grand Rapids’ first Black Owned Brewery, our craft will be Brewed for the Culture, but our motto is simple. We make Dope Beer for Dope People and always do it for the culture.
