One Pint at a Time Film Premiere and Bottle Share

There are 165 active breweries in Maine, and none of them are Black or Brown-owned. This stark lack of representation mirrors the national landscape, where less than 1% of nearly 10,000 breweries are Black-owned, despite the craft beer industry's $30+ billion annual revenue. One Pint at a Time is a compelling documentary that follows the Black experience in the American craft beer industry, highlighting the significant barriers faced by Black brewers.

In collaboration with The Third Place and Black Travel Maine, Orange Bike Brewing is excited to announce a vital initiative in Maine to support Black and Brown brewers and entrepreneurs. By attending this event, you're not just watching a film; you're supporting the mission of the National Black Brewers Association (NB2A). The NB2A was created to address the disparity in ownership and foster a more inclusive craft beer industry by raising funds, sourcing commercial properties, and providing business skills to prospective Black brewery owners.
