Established in 2015 by graduates and supporters of Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU), the Harvey-Wilder Foundation (HWF) was initially created for the purpose of raising awareness of HBCUs to high school seniors in Middle, GA. ⠀
As HWF’s reach expanded to include soon to be graduates from across the country, so too did its purpose. Today, in addition to its initial mission of preserving and sharing HBCUs histories, the HWF also offers financial resources to students who choose to experience and continue the legacy of these institutions that are such a critical part of our communities. ⠀

Where Culture Meets Craft

Great time and Oko Beer release with the fam. Phenomenal brew for this crisp fall weather. Find this beer in DC and grab it supplies last!

Tradition says that Okó, Yoruba god of the soil and the land, has blessed African rice farmers for 3,000 years. In Louisiana, the farmers at Jubilee Justice continue the ancient practice in concert with the Earth. This spicy, fruity farmhouse ale, made with their red and black rice, reminds us that wherever we are planted, we shall grow.

Shoutout to 🤙🏾🍻!

out West!! One my favorite MD breweries usually has an available beer paying homage to Final Fantasy (which I think is one of the dopest things about them). Out in AZ I’d have been remiss to NOT show their 6th Anniversary Hazy DIPA some love while at the Canyon and the around the Red Rocks of Sedona. Shout out to Red XIII ✊🏾🤙🏾 (IYKYK). Hiked a portion of the south rim and into Kaibob Forest and enjoyed the views with this delicious brew.

Beer Name: 6th Anniversary Hazy DIPA
Brewery:
ABV: 8.2%
Style: Hazy Double India Pale Ale
Deets: Their most popular hazy of the year has made its return once again! Featuring Comet, Citra, Citra Incognito, Nelson, Simcoe, and Galaxy between the whirlpool and dry hopping stages, this complex tropical hop build emerges subtly throughout the sip.
