With the national discourse about race growing louder, Michigan's craft brewing industry is facing its own racial reckoning, due to racial demographics of its workforce and customer base and backlash from a high-profile racial discrimination lawsuit involving Founders Brewing Co. last year.
According to data from the Brewers Association, 88.4 percent of craft brewery owners nationally are white, one percent are Black, and 2.4 percent are Hispanic. This disparity carries over to customers: 78.4 percent of craft beer drinkers are white, 4 percent are Black, and 10.2 percent are Hispanic.
