National Black Brewers Day

October 10 is a day to recognize and celebrate the contributions of Black beer brewers. The date was established by the National Black Brewers Association (NB2A) and has historical significance because it marks the day in 1970 when Theodore A. (Ted) Mack, Sr. became the first Black brewery president in the United States.
