Meet the Women of Color Remaking One North Carolina Town Into a Destination That Celebrates Diversity

"When people think craft beer, they just think of a white guy with a beard and a flannel shirt," Briana Brake says. "That's not the case at all." After being laid off from a software company, Brake took up home brewing in her spare time. It soon became more than a hobby: a tip from a fellow brewer sent Brake from Durham to join a brewing incubator program at Rocky Mount Mills. Here, she opened the Afrofuturist-inspired Spaceway Brewing Co. in 2018, becoming, at the time, one of two Black women brewers in North Carolina. "I want to create awareness among the brewing community that Black people are here and we have something unique to contribute to this industry," she says." - Travel + Leisure Editors

The place is very nice and comforting. Nice music. According to my friends, the beer was very good. I am usually the DD.

My partner and I stopped in recently while we were visiting Rocky Mount. Make sure you stop into Spaceway Brewing if you are in the area! It's a little more tucked away within the Mills, but a great spot once you're inside. We were able to chat with Aneesha who was informative and welcoming! We'll definitely be back any time we visit the Mills.

Had a great experience here, even though they only had 2 beers on tap at the time. The barkeep was very friendly and helpful, and the beers were tasty and well crafted. Definitely worth adding to you list of places to check out in Rocky Mount!

I just found this place from a news cast about a movie stalled in production due to Covid. As a novice brewer, I will visit soon and edit accordingly. However, sight unseen I have enjoyed reading the owners note. To that end I would like to go on record to nominate this establishment as one of if not the first of its kind to appear on the surface of Mars as Elon, continues paving the way to the first colony there. Cheers! See you soon!

Look y'all. If you're not coming here, you're making a mistake. This is a Black owned brewery that collabs with Run The Jewels. Speaking as a pseudo-Coloradan, the beer here is exquisite. You can't ask for better. They have a bookshelf with Ta-Nahisi Coates, Angela Davis, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and more. Plus Anthony is a great bartender. This brewery is a must stop. Don't skip it. Seek it out. Go out of your way. Make it happen.

So. Delicious. They have something for everyone - love dark silky smooth stouts? Go for Dondada Cardamon Stout. Love a lighter fruity ale or crisp IP? Go for FYPM strawberry milkshake IPA. Delivered locally so order online!

Very cool, small taproom with great beer. It's located INSIDE the building behind a set of doors. You cannot see the sign from the outside, so you will have to go inside to locate the taproom.
