This episode to close out the year took place back in September as we went live on Instagram and YouTube and cracked open something special with the team behind Hennessy Creek, the first Black-owned farm brewery in Maryland. We chat with Drs. Tracy & Vaughn Wallace and head brewer Leon Hill to talk legacy, land, and the leap of faith it takes to turn a dream into a brewery rooted in community. From the grind of building a farm brewery, to honoring family history, to creating a space where culture, craft beer, and connection can coexist. We get real about the wins, the setbacks, and the purpose behind the pour. If you love stories about passion, ownership, and changing the landscape of craft beer, this episode is one you don’t want to miss. Grab a glass and tap in.
