Get to Know the Man Behind Crafted Culture Brewing
For Anthony “Sizzle” Perry Jr., launching a brewery is about more than the beer.
Columbus Monthly
Picture a craft brewery owner in your head. He’s probably male, white, burly and sports a beard, right?
That description doesn’t apply to Anthony “Sizzle” Perry Jr. He’s Black, an East Side native (Livingston and Barnett), a father of five, an Army veteran who did two tours in Afghanistan, an accounting major, a serial entrepreneur and a seeming extrovert who claims he’s more comfortable playing video games in his basement.
As the founder of Central Ohio’s first Black-owned brewery, Crafted Culture, Perry is also one member of a small club of Black brewery owners who make up only 1 percent of the industry nationally, according to a 2019 survey by the Brewers Association. Crafted Culture opened in February, taking over the former Kindred Brewing space in Gahanna.
