About Us

We believe social innovation strengthens communities and that doing good and having fun go hand in hand. Our mission is rooted in the alchemy of turning beer into food and filling shelves with fresh produce from local growers. It takes a village to raise a more purposeful pint.

Drink local. Give local. Here’s to doing good.
