Show Notes

We love when Maryland gains a new brewery, especially in Prince George's County. We’re so excited to welcome Black Beauty Brewery, PG County’s second Black-owned brewing company.

Jordan sits down with Sheldon Goins, founder of Black Beauty Brewery, to hear how a setback during the pandemic led to starting a brewing company. Sheldon graduated with a criminal justice degree and found himself working in IT. But when he comes home, brewing calls his name. We talk about navigating the challenge of licensing, cold weather beers coming down the pike, and which beer styles Black Beauty will feature most. 

In other news, we discuss how a traditional beer style won Best in Show at the 2022 Maryland Craft Beer Competition and other Maryland beers we’re excited to drink in these coming cold winter days.
