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.

Health Conscious Beer
Gluten Reduced Beer and Gluten Free Hard Seltzer
We use an enzyme in all of our beers called Brewers Clarex, which breaks down gluten leaving only trace amounts of gluten in the finished product.
You won't ever hear us say that our beer is gluten free because all of our beer is made with gluten containing ingredients before the enzyme is introduced, so it's impossible for us to fully remove all gluten. That said, we are comfortable saying that our beers are gluten reduced. We've had many folks tell us they seek out our beer specifically because they are gluten sensitive and our beer doesn't aggravate their sensitivities. We are pleased to offer gluten conscious consumers this option.
Stardust, our hard seltzer, is made from 100% gluten free ingredients. However, it is produced in a facility that contains gluten. Our equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between batches but gluten containing ingredients are within our facility.
Vegetarian Friendly
We only use food products in our beer and omit animal based additives.
We also do not use animal products of any sort outside of honey, which will be noted on any beer containing it.
Dairy Free
We are dairy free. While lactose may be a popular additive to certain beer styles, we choose not to use it. Should that change, it will be noted on any beer containing it.
