Baerlic Brewing – Ben Parsons, Owner Can a really, really small brewery realistically brew a sustainable or environmentally conscious or low carbon beer? Is it even possible at this scale? We aimed to find that out as we take on the Low Carbon Beer Challenge put on by the Emerging Leaders Board of the Oregon Environmental Council. Hopworks Urban Brewery – Christian Ettinger, Brewmaster and Founder From B Corp to 1% For the Planet, Hopworks Urban Brewery looks at ways to expand sustainability outside of operations and sourcing Fort George Brewing – Renee Johnson, Sustainability Director Spruce Budd is a locally foraged, wildcrafted beer that gets to the heart of everything we love about the Northwest and why we source close to home whenever possible.
