Kulshan is participating in an incredible project started by San Antonio’s Weathered Souls Brewing. Black is Beautiful is a collaborative effort by the brewing industry as a whole to raise awareness for the injustices faced daily by people of color in our country as well as to raise funds for reform and action. Kulshan is donating profits from the Black is Beautiful release to the Whatcom Peace and Justice Center in hopes of supporting their mission of promoting lasting peace, social justice, and a culture of nonviolence at home and worldwide. 

Based on the recipe developed by Weathered Souls Brewing, Kulshan’s version of Black is Beautiful is a delicious take on the Imperial Stout style, it is robust, full bodied, very nutty and chocolate forward. It has just enough roast and hop bitterness to balance out the sweet malty notes, and finishes off with accents of coffee and dark stone fruit.
