Independent Craft Beer I We are Supporters!

We support independent craft beer! It is at the core of what we do, and we believe in independent craft beer! We support local, independent craft bee because craft beer brewers are innovative, take risks, create new and adventurous flavors, and are the backbone to building better communities!

Have you ever noticed when a craft brewery opens in an area or a town or a city, that the economy and area shapes up, cleans up, becomes alive again?

Craft beer is all about small business, community, and the craft beer community supports values and beliefs that benefit each other and the communities they serve!

Independence is also important because independent craft beer brewers aren’t beholden to BIG beer. When you are consuming craft beer, do you know who makes it? Do you know if they are truly independent or not?

Seek the Seal! The Brewers Association has created an independent craft beer seal that looks like the one below (without the supporter on the bottom). 4,400 craft beer breweries across the United States have adopted the seal and display it in their breweries and on their craft-beer packaging. Look for the seal to truly know if the beer you are drinking is independent!

Here are two in Washington. Grains of Wrath (L) and Matchless Brewing (R)
