🎮🍷 Being Black in Craft is back with a whole new vibe! 🍷🎮

April 13th at 7PM CST as we welcome Kristin, owner of Cote of Paint Wine—a visionary who’s flipping the script on what wine culture looks like and who it’s for.

This episode is all about breaking rules, building culture, and pouring purpose into every bottle.

✨ Meet Kristin — A Wine Game Changer:

• Creative disruptor blending wine + art + gaming culture

• Champion for inclusivity in winemaking

• Building a brand rooted in authenticity, culture, and community

• Focused on making wine accessible without sacrificing quality

• Visionary behind a movement where everyone belongs at the table

🍷🎨 About Cote of Paint Wine:

We’re not your typical wine brand. Why?

Because the rules were never written for people like us—so we wrote our own.

With a clever name, a video game-inspired paint can mascot named Hue, and a bold approach to storytelling, Cote of Paint is creating a lane for gamers, Blerds, creatives, and culture-shifters who want top-shelf wine without losing themselves in the process.

This is wine culture—reimagined, remixed, and reclaimed.

This episode of Being Black in Craft features Justin and Malik of Bear King Brewing—a dynamic duo blending culture, creativity, and craft.

They share how their partnership flows like a legendary Hip-Hop duo, how music and lived experiences shape their brewing, and what it takes to build ownership in a space that hasn’t always made room for Black brewers.

From real talk about the grind to their vision for legacy and community, this conversation proves it’s bigger than beer—it’s about culture, impact, and creating space where we belong. 🍻

On this episode of Being Black in Craft, we sit down with Corey Hinton, founder of Soul Brothers Brewing Company, for a powerful and unfiltered discussion on brewing, ownership, and building true equity in craft beer.

Now—real talk—there is a slight audio disturbance during parts of this episode. But don’t get it twisted… Corey comes through clear where it counts. His voice, his story, and his impact rise above it all.

And trust—this is one you want to lean into.

Corey breaks down:

• The importance of legacy and ownership in craft beer

• How he’s creating space and opportunity in the community

• Insights into the modular brewing system and how it’s changing the game for accessibility and growth in brewing

This episode isn’t just about beer—it’s about vision, resilience, and building something bigger than yourself.

Tap in, stay locked, and focus on the message—because it’s powerful. 💥
