Liquid intrusion brewing: Passion, Purpose, and persistence

By: Annie McGinnis

Liquid Intrusion Brewing Company, located in Prince George’s County, MD, is making waves in the craft beer industry with its bold flavors, unwavering mission, and commitment to representation. Founders Drew and Jasmine Dill are redefining the landscape by infusing their culture, experiences, and creativity into every pint. I sat down with them to learn more about their journey, challenges, and what lies ahead.

“My passion for craft beer began in college while bartending at Wild Wing Cafe at the Epicenter in Charlotte, NC,” Drew shares. “My first beverage at 21 was SweetWater 420 Pale Ale, and from then on, craft beer became my preferred choice in social settings.” That experience sparked his love for craft beer, which only grew stronger. After college, he and Jasmine returned to the DMV, where Drew gained industry experience working at a craft beer bar, followed by roles at Premium Distributors and Anheuser-Busch. However, it wasn’t until they attended Barrel & Flow Fest, a festival celebrating Black beer culture, that they were inspired to start homebrewing. The gift of a homebrew setup from the widow of an Air Force veteran further cemented their commitment, and Liquid Intrusion Brewing was born. Their first major milestone came when they returned to Barrel & Flow Fest—this time as a full-fledged brewery.

For Jasmine, craft beer became a passion through her shared experiences with Drew. “When Drew was a sales rep for a distributor, sometimes I would tag along for different tap takeovers happening in Washington, DC, or he would bring home different items,” she recalls. “With this, it helped to expand my palate, learn about other breweries in my area, and meet some cool people.” This exposure deepened her appreciation for the industry. Together, they envisioned a brewery that would not only create exceptional beer but also tell stories—celebrating culture, sparking conversation, and leaving a lasting impression.

The name Liquid Intrusion reflects both the science and the symbolism behind their brand. “We call beer 'liquid,' and our name had two meanings,” Drew explains. “Scientifically: the process of water flowing through malts and hops to make wort, which is needed to create liquid. Culturally: we’re here to intrude on a market that has long overlooked us.” With fewer than 1% of American breweries being Black-owned, their presence is a deliberate and powerful statement.

Their first brew was an extract grapefruit IPA, which turned out well but left them eager to tackle more complex recipes. Their subsequent South of DC Cream Ale, brewed on their larger setup, marked an important milestone—showcasing the level of quality, balance, and creativity they aim to bring to every liquid. While not a standalone signature, it was a bold introduction to the diverse lineup that would follow, including African Queen and Her 7 C’s IPA (their first official market release) and the Saison du Zest Lemongrass Saison.

“What makes our liquid or brewing style unique?” they reflect. “Our brewing style is rooted in creativity, culture, and authenticity. We craft legendary liquids that reflect our identity and resonate with our audience. Our focus on flavor innovation, like our use of ingredients such as lemongrass or African Queen hops, sets us apart from the rest. Our day one supporters are still waiting on our Plum Basil Farmhouse Ale (IYKYK).”

When it comes to fan-favorite beers, Drew and Jasmine appreciate the diverse appeal of their lineup. “ We're fortunate that all of our liquids have found the right targeted audience to ensure that we are keeping our contract brewery's schedule busy,” they explain. “Our diverse lineup of liquids appeals to different backgrounds and preferences, allowing us to consistently meet demand and grow our brand.”

However, the road hasn’t been without its challenges. “One of the biggest obstacles we've faced is navigating the industry as a Black-owned brewery,” they share. “Access to capital has been a major challenge, along with breaking into spaces that weren’t built with us in mind.” Managing cash flow and scaling production with contract breweries required strategic coordination. Yet, Drew and Jasmine tackled these hurdles with relentless networking, building authentic relationships with industry leaders and collaborating with fellow Black-owned businesses.

Collaboration is a cornerstone of Liquid Intrusion’s mission. “Whether it's partnering with Black-owned restaurants, participating in events that highlight Black-owned businesses, or even creating collaboration liquids with all of the Black-owned breweries in the DMV, we believe in uplifting each other,” they emphasize. For them, it’s not just about selling liquid—it’s about building a community and amplifying the presence of Black brewers.

Storytelling is another key element of their brand. “We want our audience to feel connected to our journey, our struggles, and our triumphs,” they explain. “It's about building a community that feels empowered by our story and inspired to pursue their own dreams.” Jasmine, who comes from an IT background, found stepping into the public spotlight a challenge at first. However, through practice and leaning on Drew for support, she grew into her role as a confident representative of their brand. “At the end of the day, I treat every new encounter as a familiar conversation and go from there,” she says. “My social battery is surely dead by the end of the day, but at that moment, I am proud of how far I have come.”

When asked how they want Liquid Intrusion to be remembered, Drew and Jasmine are clear: they aim to be trailblazers who push boundaries with authenticity and resilience. “We envision Liquid Intrusion Brewing Company leaving an indelible mark on the craft beer community as trailblazers who redefine industry norms with authenticity, innovation, and unwavering resilience,” they declare. Their goal is to inspire future generations to see themselves in the craft beer industry and know they, too, can carve out their place.

As for what’s next, Liquid Intrusion is just getting started. Expansion is on the horizon, with plans to increase production, introduce new flavors, and create a physical space that reflects their culture and values. Their upcoming taproom will be more than just a place to enjoy beer—it will be a hub of community, culture, and inspiration.

With every pour, Liquid Intrusion Brewing Company is making history—one bold, flavorful step at a time because, “the liquid must prevail-no exceptions”.

Meet the 2025 Board of Directors

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 22:32:05 GMT

This is a subtitle for your new post

The NB2A is excited to announce the new President of the Board of Directors, Jon Renthrope . As a member of the founding board, Jon has shown tremendous dedication and his expertise in business development will be a great asset to NB2A members and the Black brewing community at large.

Jon L. Renthrope , is a native New Orleanian and member of the United Nation of Houma Indians, an indigenous tribal community located in the bayou region of Southern Louisiana. He is CEO of Cajun Fire Brewing Company , the first Black/Native owned brewing company in the U.S. South, and an internationally recognized brewmaster by trade profession.

Read our Q&A to learn more about Jon and what inspired him to lead the NB2A:

What inspired you to get involved in the brewing industry?
Before I engaged in the brewing industry, I believe I always valued and admired the craftsmanship involved and the community building aspects of the brewing industry when I first was exposed to it in the early 2000s. My community of New Orleans manufacturing sector was temporarily destroyed during the fallout of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and given my home brewing skillset at the time and exposure to entrepreneurship, I determined I would create a beer manufacturing company to fill that void and create a positive economic impact for my community.

Can you share a little about your journey in the beer and beverage industry?
My journey in the beer and beverage industry has been equal parts a test and offered me countless blessings. I have had my fair-share of adversity, setbacks, and failures, however, I believe the pathway I have taken has made me a seasoned business owner and asset in many committee settings. I am blessed that my companies are in business and I do not take it for granted. Being in this profession has granted me access to do business around the globe and for that I am thankful.

What’s your favorite style of beer to brew and enjoy?
My favorite style of beer to brew is an Amber Ale, possibly because I am really comfortable with that style to the point of muscle memory. I assume it is because I grew up on the taste profile of Ambers, it's my default comfort zone and the aromas when brewed can be really pleasant (at least to me) when it airs out in the warehouse, kitchen, yard, etc. My favorite beer to enjoy is an imperial stout at room temperature. It can be bitter, coffee noted, malty, just something that has a full body and usually 9% ABV or higher.

How did you first get involved with the National Black Brewers Association?
I was initially informed of the National Black Brewers Association by film producer Aaron Hose who served as a founding board member of the National Black Brewers Association. Upon further outreach from Kevin Johnson, who served as the first president of the National Black Brewers Association, I was introduced and accepted the opportunity to serve as a founding board member.

What does being president of the board mean to you?
Being president of the board is a true honor to be bestowed upon me. I am pleased about the opportunity to earn the respect of my peers and continue the tried and true legacy of black manufacturing.

What do you see as the biggest opportunities for Black brewers in the industry?
Ownership of supply chains for auxiliary necessities of the beer industry is where I can literally witness there is a significant need and void. Due to significant underutilization, the Black target audience is one of the few untapped segments of growth opportunity in an ever expanding beverage market landscape. It has been identified as this high growth segment now a little shy of a decade with no true intentional national activation or priority placed on this growth market.

What are your top priorities for NB2A during your tenure?
My top priorities for the NB2A during my tenure is to create more channels of communication, help businesses gain access to capital, influence policy to engage/support our small businesses nationally, and expand the market footprint of membership. I also would like to foster an ecosystem that acknowledges our contributions and milestones (past and present). I believe in my vision and believe my fellow board members will hold me accountable for the outcomes.

How do you hope to support and uplift Black-owned breweries?
What I hope is that the collective efforts and strategies of our board and staff influences policy and welfare to assist our membership’s small business ventures. Lack of access to capital and bid opportunities continues to be a consistent barrier to entry for majority of Black ownership in the beverage sector and it is my intention to create tangible solutions to empower our businesses.

What partnerships or initiatives are you most excited to pursue?
I am fascinated by the efforts of 1st Vice President Garrett Oliver in exploring the fonio grain as an ingredient build in beer production and the potential the versatile superfood can unlock. The execution to date has had the makings, intentionality, and focus of leaving an equitable footprint that aligns perfectly with National Black Brewers Association mission statement.

Outside of brewing, what are some of your favorite hobbies?
Cooking, Traveling, Lifting, Spending time with my kids.

If you could share a beer with any historical figure, who would it be and why?
Two historical figures come to my mind. Augustine of Hippo, who was ordained the patron saint of brewing and printing press by the Catholic Church during crusades. I attended a high school in New Orleans which was named after him called St. Augustine High School, and to a large extent between there and the privately owned HBCU Saint Augustine University in Raleigh, NC, his narrative regarding his profession of being a brewery owner during the Crusades in what is now the Algerian coast has not been showcased. Theodore Mack Sr., who was the founder of the first Black owned brewing company post prohibition in the United States. When I first started my journey in the beer industry and searched the internet for archives and understanding, Theodore Mack Sr, was a pioneer that I studied. Between both of them, I have a lot of questions that I can only imagine what those conversations would be like. The beer I would share with them would be my baby, the original, Praline Ale.

What’s a fun fact about you that people might not know?
I am a tribal member of the United Houma Nation, an indigenous tribe largely existing in the Houma, Louisiana region of Southeast Louisiana. My company Cajun Fire Brewing Company has the distinction of being federally recognized as being the first Native American owned brewing company in the United States (post-prohibition).

New to the Board of Directors is Annie McGinnis, Co-Owner & Business Development Manager at Vine Street Brewing Company . She will be serving as Secretary of the Board and Chair of the NB2A Marketing Committee.

Annie McGinnis has over 25 years of experience in the hospitality industry, she has worked across restaurants and hotels, including opening large concepts in Southern California and Kansas City. In 2011, she shifted gears to create a commercial/residential cleaning business, Swept Away, allowing more time with her young daughter. In 2021, the opportunity to join Vine Street Brewing Co. aligned perfectly with her family’s needs. Introduced to the beer industry by Kemet Coleman, a former employee from a past restaurant and co-founder of Vine Street Brewing Co., Annie not only learned the brewing process but also discovered a passion for different beer styles. While initially drawn to Belgians as a bourbon and whiskey fan, she found her true love in stouts, especially anything barrel-aged.

Read our interview with Annie to learn more about her and what inspires her to support the NB2A and it's members:

Never being a big beer fan prior, I was introduced to the industry by Kemet Coleman, who was formerly an employee of mine at another concept 15 years ago. He was aware that I had been a part of a few large restaurant openings in Southern California and in Kansas City in the past and was looking to add that experience to the team. I have 25+ years in the hospitality industry in almost all aspects of the business from restaurants to hotels. In 2011 I left the industry and created my own small commercial/residential cleaning company, Swept Away, which allowed me to be present for my young daughter. In 2021 the opportunity to join Vine Street came at the right time in my family's life.

With all of our collaborations prior to us opening, not only did I spend time learning the process of brewing but also enjoyed becoming familiar with different styles. Being a bourbon and whiskey lover I was immediately drawn to Belgians but realize now, I'm team Stouts. Pour me anything barrel-aged and that's a bonus.

Being part of NB2A is about making space, amplifying voices, and ensuring that Black brewers have access to the resources and opportunities needed to thrive. My role at Vine Street has given me firsthand experience in building a brand and fostering community engagement. I hope to bring that perspective to NB2A by helping develop programs that support Black-owned breweries in business growth, visibility, and sustainability. The demand for inclusive, community-driven craft beer experiences is growing, and Black brewers have an incredible chance to lead that movement.

I'd love to assist in expanding access to resources for Black-owned breweries, creating mentorship opportunities, and advocating for greater industry representation. I want to see more Black brewers not just enter the space but thrive in it. Creating a bridge between breweries and the communities they are in that allows both to flourish. I’m also passionate about fostering partnerships between Black-owned breweries and larger industry players to create more growth opportunities.

I hope to engage with and support NB2A members by creating spaces for open dialogue, collaboration, and education. Whether through workshops, networking events, or direct mentorship, I want NB2A members to feel supported and connected.

Many people don’t know that I’ve played classical piano since I was six years old, once dreaming of becoming a concert pianist and performing at Carnegie Hall. While my path led me in a different direction, my love for music remains. I’m also an avid traveler—there’s something about immersing myself in places rich with history and vibrant culture that makes an experience unforgettable, especially with a great beer in hand. When outside of the brewery, I still make time for running, even if my long-distance race days are behind me. Running a mile or two each day helps me clear my mind and relieve stress. And of course, priority one is my quality time with my beautiful daughter as it won't be long before she is off to college.

Our last new Board member, is Rich Bloomfield, Co-Founder and CEO of Funkytown Brewery , Rich will be serving as Treasurer of the Board.

Rich Bloomfield grew up in Oak Park, IL and attended Grambling State University, an HBCU in Louisiana where he received a BS in Marketing. He has a broad skill-set with over 10 years of project management experience. He is currently the CEO and co-founder of Funkytown Brewery, a start-up Black-owned brewery in Chicago that launched October 2021. His previous role in education equity and now leading an award-winning brewery introducing underserved groups to craft beer; introducing a different culture into the beer world.

Get to know Rich in this Q&A and why he has chosen to serve NB2A and the Black beer community:

What led you to join the brewing industry?

My co-founders and I were always the only dudes showing up to parties, BBQs, co-ed baby showers, etc., with craft beer. At these events, Black people, women, Latino people, and other intersections were always curious about the beer—why we were into it, the beer style, label designs, front-end vs. back-end taste, and the aromatics. We realized that Black people and underserved groups do like craft beer, but there has never been outreach to introduce them to the community. That’s where Funkytown Brewery comes into play—authentic outreach to introduce underserved comm unities to craft beer.

Can you tell us a bit about your background and experience in beer or business?

I started homebrewing in 2017 with the goal of going pro. We launched Funkytown Brewery beer in the Chicago market in 2021, so I currently have a little over four years of experience growing a start-up brewery. Prior to beer, I was in project management for 12+ years, specializing in survey deployment and analytics.

Do you have a favorite style of beer to brew or drink?

Hip-Hops and R&Brew, Funkytown’s flagship American pale ale. It’s the beer that we homebrewed over and over to lead our product story—creating an aromatic, flavorful, palatable beer that both the craft beer newcomer and aficionado will enjoy.

What motivated you to join the board of the National Black Brewers Association?

I want to be involved in seeing this segment of the industry grow, and I have significant successes and mistakes that I can share to help build capacity for risk identification and strategic planning.

What are your top priorities as a board member?

My top priorities are ensuring the organization’s books are clean for accounting, funds are budgeted and allocated for the most critical areas for organization and member growth, and that there is clear communication internally and externally with members and the public.

How do you hope to engage with and support NB2A members?

I hope to catch up with members in person at events or over email. I look forward to hearing the stories and concerns that affect operators and figuring out if there are any gaps that the NB2A can fill.

What’s something unique about you that people might not know?

My sneaker collection is beautiful. But it’s not like people don’t know that—I’m usually wearing heat. My book collection is also nice, and I believe in reading as a critical component of continuous learning.

From expanding resources and opportunities to amplifying Black voices in beer, they are ready to champion real change. The momentum is here, and we invite you to be a part of it. Whether you’re a brewer, an enthusiast, or an advocate, your support fuels our journey.

NB2A & the 2024 California Craft Beer Summit

Tue, 19 Mar 2024 18:04:28 GMT

The NB2A Speaks at the 2024 California Craft Summit

March 15,2024

California's craft beer scene is a melting pot of flavors, cultures, and innovations, but diversity within the industry has often been a point of discussion. As the state's craft beer culture continues to evolve, events like the California Craft Beer Summit serve as a hub for brewers, enthusiasts, and industry professionals to connect, learn, and celebrate the art of brewing, celebrating the craft but also highlighting the voices and contributions of underrepresented communities, including Black-owned breweries.

Beyond the usual discussions on hops varieties and brewing techniques, the conference has increasingly become a platform for addressing issues of diversity and inclusion within the craft beer world. Which is why March 12-14 the NB2A attended the 2024 California Craft Brewers Association's event in Sacramento.

The week kicked off with the Day At the Capitol event where over 40+ California breweries met with the 2023-2024 California Legislature to advocate for craft beer in California. Specifically advocating for AB 2174 - Beer Catering Permit bill, which would allow brewers to sell their own beer at public and private events. These events may include weddings, parties, street fairs, conventions, sporting events, economic development, and civic pride events. Sales to public and private events help increase brand awareness, loyalty, and sales for craft brewers to grow and generate local jobs. The passing of this bill would be a massive win for California craft brewers, especially small, independent Black brewing businesses who often have limited opportunities and resources to promote their brands.

The summit opening session featured keynote speakers Rob Tod, Founder of Allagash Brewing, and Christopher Shepard, Senior Editor at Beer Marketer's Insights who shared data and insights into the economic climate of craft beer. In their talk they emphasized the importance of building community and recruiting new drinkers, particularly among women and minorities, to reverse current trends. Providing excellent experiences in pubs and taprooms is instrumental in attracting and retaining customers, echoing the model that sparked the craft beer boom. However, changing community demographics and increased competition necessitate a proactive approach to diversity and inclusivity.

Rob Tod underscored the necessity of actively engaging in efforts to bring new drinkers into the fold, highlighting the role of pubs and taprooms as inclusive spaces that make people feel comfortable and welcome. Diversity not only drives sales but also fosters innovation and attracts a broader consumer base. Christopher Shepard emphasized the importance of brand building and trusting in the unknown, encouraging individuals to build into something bigger than themselves.

The opening keynote provided the perfect introduction to the event as was the NB2A's closing Tap Talk keynote session at the end of the summit. The issues Rob Tod and Christopher Shepard highlighted are very much in line with that of the purpose of the NB2A, which exists as a response to the cultural divide and unique challenges faced by Black individuals within the craft beer industry.

NB2A's closing Tap Talk keynote session was a panel discussion moderated by NB2A Executive Director, Kevin Asato. Serving on the panel were NB2A members including Marcus Baskerville, Co-Founder of Weathered Souls Brewing; Rob Archie, Co-Founder of Urban Roots Brewery & Smokehouse; Beny Ashburn and Teo Hunter, Co-Founders of Crowns & Hops Brewing Co. The discussion served as a platform for people to ask questions freely without judgment, fostering a supportive environment for learning and growth, and a way to amplify the voices and stories of these Black-owned breweries, to inspire positive change within the industry and pave the way for a more vibrant and inclusive craft beer community.

The message summit participants walked away with was this: Black-owned breweries play a vital role in revitalizing neighborhoods and infusing them with positive energy and vitality. Moreover, they attract new consumers to the craft beer community, expanding its reach and diversity. Taking action to support the Black brewing community and the NB2A involves  becoming a member  or advocating for awareness of the association. Breweries can participate in the " Black is Beautiful " brewing initiative, which serves as a tangible way to show support for Black individuals in the brewing industry, with the NB2A offering assistance in promoting such efforts at retail outlets, marketing assets, and free can labels provided by Blue Label Packaging Co. Additionally, individuals can be inspired to follow Black-owned brands, collaborate with them when mutually beneficial, and actively engage in initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion within the industry.

In the heart of California's craft beer culture, where innovation meets tradition, the contributions of Black-owned breweries are not just celebrated; they're embraced as essential ingredients in the rich tapestry of flavors that define the Golden State's brewing scene. So, next time you raise a glass of craft beer, consider seeking out and supporting these breweries (by visiting our  Black Brewery Directory ), because in every sip lies a story of resilience, creativity, and community. Cheers to diversity, and cheers to great beer!
