Sustainability

Every brew we create produces between 1.1 and 1.3 tonnes of spent grain (wet). Once the sugars have been extracted, what remains is packed with proteins—perfect as nutritious feed for livestock.

This protein-rich grain is a fantastic resource for local farmers, offering a cost-effective and sustainable way to nourish their cattle. It’s just one of the ways we connect with and support our community while reducing waste. Here’s to making a difference, one brew at a time.

We have over 300 solar panels on the roof (making it just under a 100kilowatt system) and have done since 2021. This offsets approximately 140,000 kilos of carbon dioxide annually.

As we grow as a business and a brewery, we are looking to add more solar panels to cope with the added power usage as well as incorporating more power efficient cooling methods when we’re at a scale to do so… so drink up.

As for recycling, we participate in the Containers for Change scheme and have done for over two years. For every bottle that leaves the brewery we pay in excess of the 10c deposit you can reclaim on our empties. Given the nature of what we do, our contribution to recycling is at the forefront of our sustainability efforts and something we are mindful of every day, which helps to mitigate any potential rubbish issues in the community.

We recently installed a Nitrogen (N2) generator, an inert gas that makes up around 78% of the air we breathe. This will be used to substitute most of the Co2 we buy in for purging tanks and carbonating the lagers you love.
