A Practical Approach to Sustainability
Sustainability should be straightforward and effective. That means making thoughtful decisions in our brewery, minimizing waste wherever possible and continuously improving how we operate.

Brewing & Production
Brewing & Production
Brewing & Production
We reuse and repurpose materials throughout the brewing process:
- Spent grain, hops, yeast and filter sheets are composted locally
- Grain bags are reused by staff and partners
- Hop boxes are reused to protect palletized cans
- Broken pallets are rebuilt and reused
Packaging & Materials
Our packaging choices reduce waste and improve efficiency:
- Aluminum cans are 100% recyclable
- Aluminum cans are lighter than glass, reducing shipping weight and fuel use
- Tap handles are made from reclaimed ash hardwood
- Shipping materials are reused whenever possible

Water & Energy Use
Designed to reduce water, energy and process waste:
- Hot liquor tank reuses heat-exchanged water for the next brew
- Cold liquor tank uses 38°F water instead of standard city supply
- High-efficiency Cool Fit glycol piping reduces chiller load
- Steam-powered kettles improve efficiency over natural gas systems

Building Design
Built for efficiency from the ground up:
- Low-water landscaping reduces overall water use
- Passive solar daylighting reduces electricity demand
- Energy-efficient lighting throughout the facility
- High-efficiency insulation in all cooler systems
- Strip curtains help maintain cooler temperatures
- HVAC system pulls cool night air during summer months
- Mini-split systems reduce office energy consumption

Restaurant Operations
Sustainability extends into our restaurant and taproom:
- Water only served upon request has saved thousands of gallons
- Cooking oil is recycled into biofuel
- Corn-based eco straws are available upon request
- Food scraps are composted
- Ingredients are sourced locally when possible
- Nitrogen generator eliminates the need for delivered nitrogen tanks
