Announcement:
Archetype Brewing has been selected as one of five NC breweries for the Many Faces Initiative, an intern diversity program. Town Brewing, in Charlotte, released a beer called “Many Faces” in the summer of 2020 to raise funds to support the NC Brewers Guild Diversity Scholarship Program that covers expenses for women and people of color attending the NC Craft Brewers Conference. This summer, the brewery expanded the Many Faces Initiative by launching a paid ten-week brewery internship program designed to provide experience to people of color interested in pursuing careers within the craft brewing industry. In addition to the training, each brewery will release a beer developed by their intern, and all net proceeds from the beer releases will be donated to the Many Faces Initiative Fund to continue to grow the internship program in the years to come. Look for the “Many Faces” beer release in late summer/early fall. Learn more here.
