The Black is Beautiful initiative is a collaborative effort amongst the brewing community and craft beer lovers, in an attempt to bring awareness to the injustices that many people of color face daily. Started by Weathered Souls Brewing Co. in San Antonio, Texas, their mission is to bridge the gap that's been around for ages and provide a platform to show that the brewing community is an inclusive place for everyone of any color. They're calling for all breweries and brewers far and wide to raise a glass in unison and participate in this collaboration.
We at MoreBeer! are proud participants in this collaboration and strong believers that homebrewing is for everyone. We humbly invite our customers to contribute to those fighting for justice and equality while brewing delicious beer at the same time. 100% of the proceeds from our clone recipe Black is Beautiful kit are donated to the Michael James Jackson Foundation for Brewing & Distilling, which funds technical education and career advancement for black, indigenous, and people of color in the brewing and distilling industries.

Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.
