ABOUT
BEER KULTURE
Together, we can change the world - one beer at a time.
WHO ARE WE?
Vision: We envision collaborative efforts toward a common goal. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is not the destination, it's the journey!
We envision a craft beverage industry where:
-
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are recognized as core institutional values that drive decision-making, resource allocation, and the development of all policies and practices.
-
Black, African American, Hispanic, Native North American, Pacific Islander and BIPOC are actively included, recruited, retained, and supported.
-
Collaborative internal and external partnerships support the emerging needs of the above mentioned and the communities in which we live and work.
Mission: Increase diversity, inclusion and equity through humanitarian assistance, educational programs and compassionate community services.
Beer Kulture Inc. is organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes in accordance with section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Beer Kulture's passion is to BE THE CHANGE, do good in our communities and build a brighter tomorrow by starting with what we can do today.
Since 2017, Beer Kulture has played a key role on both the consumer and Industry side of craft beer. We've introduced an un-reached demographic to the pleasures of craft beer and opened doors for Black creatives to freely walk into the industry as consumers, organizers and professionals. Our entire messaging of “Inviting new drinkers to the party” is all about reaching black, African Americans & BIPOC within our communities through humanitarian assistance, educational programs and compassionate community services in an effort to support them where they are. Doing so builds organic and authentic trust within the community in which is the very fabric of how we can build a sustainable future not only for the craft beverage industry, but for the world at large.
We need your partnership to go even further! You can help us continue to transform our industry and communities by making a contribution to our shared mission.

WHAT EXACTLY DOES BEER KULTURE DO?
For starters, we are World changers!
Have you ever thought to yourself "I'd like to change the World someday, but there's just too much work to do?" It can be overwhelming, no matter how good your intentions might be.
Would you believe us if we told you that we have a plan that Includes changing the world which is both strategic and simple?
Here's HOW we do it:

How that looks?

When we say that beer has the ability to change and shape the world, we mean it! This is an opportunity to reach beyond the taproom and touch the heart of our communities and ultimately, the world.
