Oak Park Brewing’s newest is much more than a beer. It’s a Black history lesson | The Sacramento Bee

By James Patrick, The Sacramento Bee

You know the story.

A pint hits the tap at Sacramento’s Oak Park Brewing. The liquid pours straw yellow; the head floating puffy, like a cloud. The first sip tastes like every beer that made Milwaukee famous, especially those from the 1970s heyday of Schlitz, Old Style and Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Oak Park’s People’s Beer, which was canned this week and is being released Friday, is the next liquid chapter that flows from the confluence of the Black Civil Rights movement and the beer-brewing heart of the country.

So even though it tastes like nostalgia, you don’t know this story.
