Fresh Fest, the first Black beer festival in the country, is moving online due to COVID-19. In this episode, we chat with co-founder Day Bracey about how the pivot to digital will allow more accessibility and how he believes that digital components will permanently change the events landscape long after coronavirus. But what about a key aspect of this festival -- the beer collaborations? Bracey has organized some special four-packs that will be available for purchase, so you can drink along from the comfort of your couch. For $10, Fresh Fest Digi Fest promises 54 total hours of available programming, including cooking demos, panel discussions, and live music. By going digital, both presenters and attendees are not constrained by geography, and as such Bracey is excited about some international voices entering the mix. Plus, we highlight the Bike Match network, a nationwide program that is overseen locally by BikePGH, and we shoutout some diversity in the art community with the Spirit mural walls Black AF edition project slated for unveiling in Lawrenceville this summer.
