The Michael James Jackson Foundation (MJF) for Brewing and Distilling aims to provide scholarship support to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in the brewing and distilling industries. For this episode, we check in with Brooklyn Brewery brewmaster and MJF chair, Garrett Oliver, about the foundation’s mission, some of the people it has supported over the years, and what he’s learned since the organization’s launch.
