Quick to fall in love with craft beer after that fateful first sip, Tom has been working in the industry since 2016. While moonlighting as a bartender, copywriter, and editor, Tom came to realize that the best conversations are had over a pint, and that beer can truly bring people of all backgrounds together. In 2019, he started looking for a way to get more deeply involved with craft beer. With an emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion, he wants to tell the stories you haven’t heard, and in late 2019 the beertruth podcast was born. When he’s not drinking beer in the name of research, Tom can be found searching out his next great conversation.

In the craft beer community today, there are a number of efforts to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI for short. One of these movements, the Inclusion Beer Project (IBP), is gathering momentum in the East Bay Area, and is being spearheaded by the Bay Area Brewer’s Guild along with several Guild members. As the IBP launched during the pandemic, the original idea of hosting in-person events was scrapped in favor of an ongoing collaborative movement, including beer releases from participating breweries.
