While I know this survey is biased, it’s people who watch Brulosophy content and answer surveys, but my own experience backs this up: https://brulosophy.com/2024/05/27/2024-general-homebrewer-survey-results/

Why?

    Mostly because it’s seen as hipster and mostly straight white dudes were the most enthusiastic adopters of the hipster aesthetic.

    Plus a lot of different cultures have different cultural traditions related to preferred drink and drinking practices, not all of which lend themselves easily, or even safely, to homebrewing.
