- Brewing responsibly is good business.
Positive Impacts
Humanity
Providing support and resources to children-at-risk, single parent families, and the elderly.
Equity
We’re proud to support advocacy and stewardship of disenfranchised community members.
Environment
We’re committed to supporting organizations that help protect and preserve our environment.
Community & Charitable Giving
We strive to foster deep and enriching relationships with the nonprofits we support. We developed a Seasonal Partnership model to allow us to add more points of impact and engage in more opportunities with the non profits in our communities. Our Charitable Committee, made of folks from across the brewery, gather each year to choose the charities that will live in our taproom for an entire fiscal quarter.
2021 Charitable Partners:
Winter Charitable Partner
The Cultural Enrichment Center is designed to address the needs of middle school and high school African American students in Fort Collins. The enrichment center is crafted in an academic cultural framework for the purpose of connecting participants with history, literature, arts, music, dance, traditions, and folklore of the African American experience.

The Growing Project promotes an environmentally and socially just local food system through direct agricultural experiences, education, economic opportunities, and advocacy.

Sustainability & Environmental Footprint
For every business decision we make, we place a higher value on what we’re accomplishing for the environment in which we live. This means not only reducing physical waste, but improving our water, and energy usage at every stage of the process. We believe that in the long run, investing in sustainability is good business.
WATER
ENERGY
We’re constantly working towards new Sustainability Goals.
- – Producing zero landfill waste by 2025. As of 2020, we’re 80% towards our goal!
- – Finding a CO2 recapture system to capture and clean waste CO2 from fermentation to carbonate our beer.
- – Incorporating wind energy into our grid.
- – Composting for the brewery and our co-owners
Innovate with the Community
We’re constantly planning for the future, which for us means innovating with our communities.
