| Details | The New Haven Museum will raise a glass to “Lady Lager,” Alisa Bowens-Mercado, founder of Rhythm Brewing Co., the first Black, female-owned beer company in CT, as she presents the virtual “Founders Chat: The Rhythm of Work.” The free, virtual event is in partnership with the 2021 International Festival of Arts & Ideas. Bowens-Mercado will discuss the importance of representation and how she developed an untapped market. Randi McCray, co-founder of the Urban Collective, New Haven’s shared events space for entrepreneurs of color, will moderate. The event will include a Q&A aimed at aspiring entrepreneurs and a brief ceremony entrusting artifacts from the two brands Bowens-Mercado has built — Rhythm Brewing Company and Alisa’s House of Salsa— to the permanent collection of the New Haven Museum. Attendees will receive information on the Connecticut Brewers Guild African-American Brewing Scholarship for those considering the industry. |
