The festival itself is a celebration of local craft beer and Black artists. It includes a week full of events, culminating in the Barrel & Flow Fest. The organizers, including founder Day Bracey and CFO Ed Bailey, “…want to continue to utilize the brewing industry to connect opportunity, accessibility, and artistry in ways that empower the Black community.” They go on to state that they hope to be known as one of the most welcoming festivals.
