Today, I’m sitting down with Marcus Wyatt, the mind and muscle behind Windy Bridges Brewing — a name that already sounds like it’s got a story behind it. Marcus is part of a new wave of brewers redefining what community and craft beer look like, bringing flavor, identity, and creativity to every pour.
We’re talking about how he got started, what inspires his brews, the wild experiments that didn’t quite make it to the taproom, and what it means to be a Black brewer building bridges — literally and figuratively — in today’s beer scene.
“Alright y’all — let’s give a big round of applause for a true innovator in the craft beer galaxy!
She’s a visionary, a creative, and a force shaping the future of beer and culture — please welcome the founder of Spaceway Brewing, the one and only Briana Brake!”
