Out of nearly 10,000 craft brewers in the U.S., fewer than 1% are Black-owned. Marcus Baskerville is working to change that.
Credit:Marcus Baskerville, brewmaster and co-founder of James Beard-nominated craft brewery Weathered Souls, is seeking to hold on to the brand as fellow co-founder and majority partner Mike Holt looks to sell his stake.
“It’s time to let someone else join Marcus to take the reins,” said Holt, 60, who sold his home and moved with his wife into an RV to purchase equipment to launch the brewery in 2016. Holt and his wife are no longer living in the RV, and he said he’s looking forward to spending more time with her. “My wife has been a brewery widow for several years now.”
“I’ve had some opportunities I can’t take advantage of because we’re not majority Black-owned,” he said. “One of them being working with Disneyland.”
