This talk will explore the stories of enslaved women brewers and enslaved men who distilled for their owners without recognition, Black women moonshiners across the country during Prohibition, the incredibly creative mixologists of the 1800s who created drinks we still partake in today, and spotlight current day mixologists, brewers, and distillers that are changing the face of spirits today.
