These decisions range from the ingredients we use in our beer; the way we handle our spent grain and waste and how we engage our space and the community. Some people call it slow, we call it “Thoughtful.” Because of this mission, every beer we make begins with a commitment to sourcing local and building relationships at every level and opportunity possible. All of our beers average 95% locally sourced ingredients. We have been collaborating with local growers, farmers and chefs since before we opened our doors in 2015. Two of these longstanding collaborators have been Matt Martin and Freshlist. Matt Martin is a good friend and one mighty fine chef! Matt is the Head of Culinary Operations for Freshlist AND one of the two owners of Title Belt Ice Cream along with Adam Duke of Dukes Bread. Freshlist’s mission is to strengthen our local food system. They accomplish that by assisting small Independent farms in areas like distribution and logistics. Helping the farmer stay on and the farm, doing what they do best being shadows in a field. Freshlist provides our area restaurants (and breweries!) with harvest to order produce which gives restaurants the best ingredients possible! This dinner series will be a showcase of the amazing produce from Freshlist and will be a night full of fun creative vegan dishes that will of course leave you saying “Wow, I can’t believe that’s vegan!” We are stoked to be collaborating in another way with these incredible folks!
