Reducing Pollution at Your Brewery – A Brewery Sustainability Tour

Crafting beer with sustainability in mind is not only critical for keeping operational costs low, but many of your customers care about the efforts breweries are taking to reduce their impact on the environment. Responding to this demand is the future of beer and can differentiate you and your beer in the market.

This workshop will address reducing pollution at your brewery; while connecting to grant, incentive, and support programs that can help you meet your sustainability goals. From water audits, to managing energy use of your boilers, to waste management – we’ll cover the top actions that brewers can take to target waste and reduce costs.

We’ll also host a discussion, hearing sustainability challenges and successes from other brewers in the region. We’ll also hear from Sketchbook Brewing and take a tour of their operations, showcasing how they have incorporated sustainability at their brewery.
