Crowns & Hops founders Beny Ashburn and Teo Hunter kick off the second day of Brewbound Live, sharing their journey to opening a brewery in Inglewood, California. Following Ashburn and Hunter’s opening remarks on Day 2, they are joined on stage by National Black Brewers Association (NB2A) executive director Kevin Asato to share the continuity of their respective missions, how they’re gaining traction and making an impact. The NB2A launched earlier this year with a mission to advocate for African-American brewers and brewery owners, who account for less than 1% of craft breweries in the U.S.
