CRAFT BEER & SUSTAINABILITY
breweries nationwide are engaging in active sustainability programs,
and we are ecstatic to pave the way for chicago’s organic craft beer scene.
we believe the best results stem from the best possible ingredients,
which is why we are committed to using 100% organic malted barley and hops.
we also donate our spent grain to a local farmer who incorporates it into his chickens’ feed!
implementing water conservation practices, composting, and monitoring energy consumption are also important
in “closing the loop” wherever and whenever possible.
we are committed to achieving the smallest footprint without jeopardizing our high standards for flavor and quality.
