Courtney Iseman, Creator of Hugging the Bar, wants to get the ball rolling on one of Hugging the Bar’s goals, which is hearing from guest writers and creators. I’m looking for pitches from Black, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and/or differently abled individuals…truly anyone from any underrepresented community who wants to write anything having to do with craft beer. Essays, Q&A’s, poems? “Hugging the bar” is a slang term for being drunk. Hugging the Bar covers news, trends, people, places, and events in the craft beer, bar, and drinking world, but with more personal context and more of an examination of what these things actually mean. Email all questions and submissions to Courtney Iseman, Creator of Hugging the Bar, at: huggingthebar@gmail.com
