Two CBC interests came together recently when WRAL-TV’s Tar Heel Traveler Scott Mason took a trip to Rocky Mount Mills and discovered Spaceway Brewery. Mason featured the brewery and its CEO and Brewmaster Briana Brake on Tar Heel Traveler segment for WRAL-TV news.
“My number one goal is to make the best beer that I can possibly make,” Brake told Mason. “I want to be as good as the big guys,” Brake told Mason.
She is unique because her Spaceway is one of very few owned and operated by a black female. Brake is actively working to get more people who look like her in the driver’s seat at breweries.
