content: Oral history interview with Marcus Baskerville, co-founder and head brewer at Weathered Souls Brewing Company in San Antonio, Texas. Topics covered include Baskerville's childhood in Sacramento, California; his initial encounters with craft beer alongside family members at local brewpubs; beginning to attend beer festivals; and witnessing the extent to which people of color were underrepresented in these spaces. Baskerville also talks about using social media to find other Black beer enthusiasts; starting to homebrew; switching from a corporate career to opening Weathered Souls in 2016; the palate of San Antonio consumers compared to Sacramento consumers; the styles of beers brewed at Weathered Souls; the brewery's experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic; and Baskerville's founding of the Black Is Beautiful collaboration, which became a global project with more than 1,220 breweries participating.
