\n\u201cThe dichotomy of expecting certain things from Latinx brewers\u2014like mole and spiced beers\u2014and then admonishing them for not following a set of rules deemed necessary to be considered legitimate is a reality people who occupy any marginalized identity must endure.\u201d<\/p>\n

That should be apparent by the 11th paragraph, which includes this: \u201cWhen I mentioned my upcoming visit to Athletic\u2019s taproom to a friend, a psychiatrist who is a twenty-year veteran of A.A.\u2019s twelve-step program, which he credits with saving his life, he replied, \u2018Non-alcoholic beer is for non-alcoholics.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
