For the third year in a row, Montclair Brewery will be honoring Black History Month by releasing several new and returning craft beer styles at its taproom in Montclair, N.J. This year’s line-up brews will include: Noble Like It is Porter, the Black is Beautiful Stout with Baobab and Peanut Butter and the Boseman Wild Ale -all connected to African and Black History makers.

Noble Like It Is Porter – a collaboration with Harlem Brewing honoring Gil Noble, a renowned African-American journalist, professor, pianist, news reporter, anchor, producer and host of WABC ” Like it Is.” Brewed with Jamaican pimento seeds (allspice) and will be released on draught early February in their taproom and at select New Jersey distribution partners mid-month in 16-oz cans.

“It is very important that his legacy is remembered and celebrated now and for generations to come,” said Celeste Beatty, founder of Harlem Brewing.

“It is so important for us to use our brewery as a platform to educate others about Black History, and we love to incorporate ingredients from our Caribbean and African cultures into our brews,” said Denise Ford Sawadogo, general manager and co-owner. “Brews like the Noble Like It Is are special because it allows us to honor Montclair history and Black history simultaneously.”

The Boseman – a wild ale brewed with juniper berries and named to honor the actor Chadwick Boseman best known for his starring role in the movie, The Black Panther. Being a wild ale, it is expected to have an earthy, sour and funky aroma and flavor. The Boseman wild ale will be released towards the middle of February and will be available on draught and for growler fills and 16-oz cans.

Black is Beautiful Stout with Baobab and Peanut Butter – a new twist on the version of the Black is Beautiful global collaboration recipe.

The Black is Beautiful Stout with Baobab and Peanut Butter is currently available on draft for on-site consumption and in 12-oz crowler cans for to-go orders.
