This collaboration brings together two awesome black owned brands to help bring a message to Cincinnati and far beyond. Esoteric Brewing Company and BlaCk OWned Brands are doing big things… and you’re gonna wanna know about it.
These two companies are coming together to release something that is being called ‘Black Bouquet’. It’s a limited edition release of both a special beer can and a long sleeve shirt together at a special, ticketed event at the brewery on October 28th. It’s not a coincidence that this release is happening during both companies anniversary months, either.

About Esoteric
Esoteric… who I’m sure that you’re familiar with by now if you’re a regular visitor to this website – is partially black owned and one of the first minority owned breweries in Cincy. The opened their doors last year with a strong vision to create a more diverse and inclusive space, helping to change the narrative of craft beer one guest at a time.
It’s been extremely important for the brewery to have a positive impact on the community they serve, and to provide an example for how breweries can do just that.
BlaCK OWned
This Cincinnati grown outerwear brand brings the message of diversity and inclusion into the fashion world… loudly. They’re celebrating 10 years with clients like the Bengals and FC Cincinnati carrying their product lines, and they also operate a popular coffee shop on Elm st in downtown Cincy’s business district.
With the goal of bringing positivity and the spirit of collaboration in to their community… to say that they’re a perfect partner for this project is a bit of an understatement.
