Nicki has been a brewer at Left Hand, among others, and is launching Jefferson Beer Supply as a way to bring the community together over - what else? - beer (and sausage!).Check out Jefferson Beer Supply:https://jeffersonbeersupply.com/https://www.instagram.com/jeffersonbeersupply/https://www.facebook.com/Jeffersonbeersupply

In this episode I take a look at Black Pride Beer, a company not many people have heard of.
