Brewers for Clean Water

When we were established in 2015, Alliance Brewing Company was on the front end of the quickly emerging craft beer scene in East Tennessee. Our mission is to brew quality beer and work with the community to evolve craft beer culture. We believe that craft beer can be a lifestyle. The Tennessee River is a stone’s throw away from our doors, and we respect and cherish the value of that resource. We promote the protection of our water sources and the idea that without clean water, we wouldn't have great beer! As we are near the South Knoxville Urban Wilderness, we happily support those who love the outdoors. Whether it be mountain biking, trail running, kayaking, or rock climbing, we encourage our allies to follow it. Together, we can create an active beer culture!

Our founders, Matt and Rene Greff, are committed to making great beer and delicious food that's served in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere. We're passionate about producing in a conscientious way. We buy locally, support sustainable farmers, give back to our community, and work to reduce our environmental impact. We know our beer speaks for itself, but we also feel each pint tastes that much better knowing it was made thoughtfully and responsibly. Watch video

Arcadia Brewing Company was established in 1996 as a microbrewery specializing in handcrafted British-style ales. All of our beers are produced in small batches, and our 25 Barrel Peter Austin Brewery and methods originated in England, which allows this style of beer to reflect over 250 years of world class brewing heritage. In addition to brewing on authentic British equipment, Arcadia uses only the finest malted barley from England, and when combined with the freshest hops from the Pacific Northwest of our United States, and our legendary Ringwood yeast, the result is some of the best and freshest handcrafted ales available, on any continent.

In Colorado, we are fortunate to have our water come from some of the most natural sources straight from the snowpack in the front range, including the Arapaho glacier within eyeshot of the brewery. This is something we don’t take for granted—it's something we need to protect to ensure this key ingredient stays fresh and of the highest quality to continue producing the highest quality of beers. Clean water is also at the heart and soul of the employees here at the brewery, given we spend so much of our free time recreating around it, whether it’s boating, fishing, skiing, or hiking. Protecting that for the future is not only for our best interest of the brewery but also for the interest of our employees, their families, and the entire community.

Bang Brewing Company is Minnesota’s first dedicated organic brewery. Established in 2013 by a husband-and-wife owner/brewer team, Bang brews a range of high-quality ales and lagers.

Bar Hygge was established in the Spring Garden neighborhood of Philadelphia in 2016.

Located in the historic Bates Mill, Baxter Brewing Co. is a Maine-based craft brewery that cans all of its beer. In addition to being better for the environment (aluminum is the most recycled material in the world) and the beer itself by keeping the liquid safe from light and oxygen, cans are infinitely more portable than glass, and therefore the perfect accompaniment to outdoor activities. As one of our founding principles is to be a sustainably-driven, environmentally-friendly company, we strive to be "greener" than the normal brewing process calls for through efforts including purchasing wind power to offset 100% of our electrical usage, using our spent grain and yeast to feed local cattle, composting solid waste and discarded hops, using ME-certified energy efficient lighting, recovering and reusing steam from our brewhouse, neutralizing our waste water, enforcing a strict recycling program, and, of course, using cans (don't worry: our 6-pack rings are 100% photodegradable).

The story of Bear Republic, like most other craft brewers, begins with homebrewing. It was the spark for our passion to create quality, hand-crafted beers. Why did we decide to craft beers among the grapevines of California's world-famous Wine Country? Simple. This is where we are from. Founded by 3rd and 4th generation Sonoma County residents, we are family-owned and team-oriented. We believe that sustainability, beer quality and financial responsibility go hand in hand. We've worked hard to achieve a 3.5 to 1 water use to beer produced ratio in our drought stressed region. Investment in extensive solar arrays and a state of the art wastewater pretreatment system help us to further reduce our impact on the environment.

Beer is an essential part of the American cultural heritage. In the 19th century and into the early 20th century, every town had its own brewery to provide beer for the residents. These local beers were usually accompanied by the local or regional specialty cuisine. To ensure that these traditions continue, we need clean water to make everything we serve. Our goal is to provide the small-town pub atmosphere in a modern environment, with a wide variety of beers and food. Everything we serve is skillfully crafted on premises, from the appetizers to the beer.

Flossmoor Station's owners, Dean and Carolyn Armstrong, who are Flossmoor residents, saw the deterioration of the historic old Flossmoor Train Station right before their eyes. Run-down and well on its way to being a safety liability, the building badly needed some tender loving care. Flossmoor Station Restaurant & Brewery's debut was met with great excitement as the community had its first opportunity to see how lovingly the old building was restored, and what a stunning addition it would make to the town. Flossmoor – and South Chicagoland – now had a true "public house" and "community gathering place" – the goal the Armstrongs persisted to achieve. Watch video

Further, we do not distribute or sell beer outside the Lake Erie watershed, and all our spent grains are mixed with spent coffee grains, creating fertilizer for local gardeners.

The Founders Family, a group of passionate beer enthusiasts, has grown around this simple philosophy: "We don't brew beer for the masses.

In short, we make beer for people like us." Founders. Brewed for us. Watch video

Founded in 2008, Upslope Brewing Company has a simple goal: Make a better beer rooted in the outdoor lifestyle. We've canned our beers from the beginning because packability is key to the après lifestyle and allows for every adventure to be celebrated when it happens, where it happens. We believe our cans are a handheld tribute to all who agree that playing hard should end with a quality beer that goes down easy. And last time we checked, when it comes to places to fish, hike, or crack open a craft beer, there is no planet B. So that's why, from the water and energy we use to the waste we produce, Upslope does everything possible to leave a mark with our beer, not our footprint.

Our philosophy of owning a brewery is plain and simple—brew fresh, drinkable session ales and lagers that complement each beer style. Consumers are much more educated these days when it comes to beer, and our goal as brewers is to show everyone why it is called "craft" beer. Anyone can throw a bunch of hops in a beer and call it a double IPA, but we believe in creating beers that have the nuances of malt, hops, alcohol and freshness. Drinkability is our m.o.—and we hope we can get you wanting just one more—because beer is good! Cheers! Watch video

We know every decision and every action we undertake has an effect on the world around us and that sustainability is achieved through careful consideration of every aspect of our business. We are proud to have received the Green Brewery of the Year Award from the Virginia Green Travel Alliance. Sustainability is built into every part of our process that finishes with fresh, delicious beer. From humble beginnings with grain all the way to your favorite glass, our brewhouse and packaging departments have green systems in place for the whole journey.

A tiny microbrewery in rural America, Wolf Hills has a tasting room and a small distribution network in the local area. At Wolf Hills, we are lucky to have very good water quantity and quality. But we understand and appreciate the value of water and hope to stimulate others’ interest in water conservation. In our brewery, we recycle cooling water and capture heat associated with brewing to conserve resources. We are lucky to have local farmers collect our spent grain for animal feed. We try to minimize natural gas and electric utilities by staying small and keeping our beer close to home. More than anything, Wolf Hills is a local business, owned and operated by local people, serving local markets, and conserving our local resources.
