Belgian company launches an anti-racist black beer

A Belgian brewery launched a dark beer named "I'm not racist, but..." to humorously address underlying prejudices associated with the phrase. Dok Brewing Company from Ghent created this American Porter, featuring Julie Omoregie, a Nigerian employee, on the label. The initiative aims to raise awareness about discrimination without provoking anyone. The idea emerged during a brainstorming session, where Omoregie's request for a beer led to playful comments about her preferences. The brewery emphasizes that humor can convey serious messages and promotes inclusivity, rejecting racism and discrimination. The beer has received positive feedback in Ghent, although one retailer in Bruges refused to sell it due to the label design.
