Sustainably Brewed
Commitment to sustainability
Nearly all of our raw ingredients come from the US, supporting American craft farmers and producers. We utilize varieties of grain that are more sustainable, developed by American universities to adapt to local growing climates, alleviating pressure on farmers to use more archaic varieties that require high pesticide usage. These barleys and wheats are also grown using only rainwater, requiring no man made water sources for their full maturation.
We capture naturally produced CO2 during fermentation, which requires care and special equipment, but it lowers our CO2 usage and our carbon footprint.
Reducing Our Footprint
Through a partnership with Atlas Organics and HJ Ranch for pick-up of our spent grain, since 2019 we:

Estimate of materials recycled per year
We only use food products in our beer and omit animal based additives, do not use animal products of any sort (outside of honey, which will be noted on any beer containing it); we are dairy free and vegetarian friendly, and use an enzyme to reduce gluten, for our gluten conscious drinkers.
Certified B Corp
In 2022, we officially became a certified B Corp. This means we completed a rigorous, lengthy assessment and verification process with the international non-profit, B Lab, to certify that we are meeting the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. In other words, profit above all else is NOT the driving force behind B Corps as it is with other corporate designations. B Corps are purpose driven organizations that place emphasis on making a positive impact on their employees, communities, and the world by making sure that every stakeholder benefits from the organization and not just shareholders or owners.
