We pledge to you in earnest, our desire to contribute to and create an open and welcoming environment in the Craft Beer world.

We’re a diverse group of folx who are passionate about changing the beer industry.
We recognize that we are here to learn, share, and change behaviors. This requires patience, questioning and being uncomfortable. We’re here to celebrate the awkward and to help each other navigate through social issues in a way that provides a harassment-free experience for everyone
We uphold Our standards by using welcoming and inclusive language. Respectfully listening to differing viewpoints and experiences is essential to building empathy and community. Show kindness when critiquing others and accept constructive criticism as gracefully as possible.
