About the film: Craft beer generates tens of billions of dollars annually for the US economy. Despite beer’s Egyptian and African heritage, these traditions have been mostly forgotten and are rarely found in American brewing culture. Today, Black owned breweries make up less than 1% of the nearly 9,000 breweries in operation. Eager to shift the historical perception of who makes and drinks beer, Black brewers, brand owners and influencers across the country are reshaping the craft beer industry and the future of America’s favorite adult beverage. One Pint at a Time premiered in October of 2021 and has since received: • 100+ official selections to film festivals (plus special screenings at breweries, conferences, and universities) • A combination of 50+ awards, special honors (opening/closing film), nominations and special mentions • Exposure in 9 countries across North, Central and South America, Europe, and Africa.
