HOUSTON – A San Antonio brewery has been named the best in the U.S. by Hop Culture Magazine.
According to Hop Culture, it was Weathered Souls’ resilience amid the coronavirus pandemic that earned it the top spot on the list.
Last June, the brewery launched its “Black Is Beautiful” initiative with a mission to bring “awareness to the injustices that many people of color face daily,” Hop Culture reports.
The initiative encouraged other breweries to create an imperial stout recipe to raise awareness of social and racial injustice.
