The extremely short version: we’re happy to report that we’re continuing to live our values as a Certified B Corp.
To slightly elaborate, that means: giving back to our community; being an excellent workplace for our employees; and continuing to brew beer of the highest quality, while working to reduce our impact on the environment.
