PHOENIX Tyler Smith of Phoenix made history by establishing Arizona s only Black-owned brewery.
Smith said he was first introduced to the world of home brewing by a friend 14 years ago.
“He told me, he made this beer in his garage and I was like, ‘No way, you don t do that, you can t do that.’ So that next year, I went out and bought all the equipment and I just started home brewing for fun, Smith said.
