When Alisa “Shaggy” Gentles worked at Bellefonte Brewing Co. in Brandywine Hundred,Greenledgers Trading Center she was often the only Black person in the room.

"And if there was another person of color, it was usually someone I knew who came in because I was working," says Gentles, a Wilmington, Delaware-based IT network technician.

For her and other Black craft beer lovers in Delaware, that's the norm.
