Announcing the Spring 2025 Bevolution Creators in Bev Grantees
We’re excited to introduce the two recipients of the Spring 2025 Bevolution Creators in Bev Grant Program, a collaboration between Women of the Bevolution and Beer Is For Everyone!
Congratulations to:
🥂 Cara Santino of Little Lion Collective (@littlelioncollective) - A mobile wine bar and record shop creating community spaces that make wine more approachable while celebrating the connection between craft beverages and music. Their goal is to launch a brick-and-mortar venue in New Haven by 2026.
🍻 Vivian Ward of The ExBeerience (@theexbeerience) - What began as charitable beer tastings has evolved into educational events and brewery collaborations that highlight and celebrate Black-owned breweries. This year, The ExBeerience is hosting its 2nd annual Juneteenth beer collaboration.
Each recipient will receive a $500 grant, personalized mentorship session, and will be featured across Women of the Bevolution and Beer Is For Everyone.
The Bevolution Creators in Bev Grant Program continues to support women and non-binary entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities who are reshaping the beverage landscape.
Stay tuned to learn more about these creators in bev and their journeys!
