Craft Notes is writing the story of “Sustainability” – We’re looking for the local Industry Leaders of the movement/businesses that make protecting the environment a key part of their mission

The goal is to 1) build consumer loyalty for your efforts, 2) encourage others to follow in your footsteps, and 3) Elevate the perception of the industry.

I’m also hoping that through your help and permission, I’ll be able to build a resource for strategies and innovation that can be a resource for everyone in the industry.

We are limited to 20 places for our Passports, and our mission is to choose the most inspirational stories related to sustainability. This is only a current assessment from what we know/learn.

My personal interest is in sustainability issues. I know making beer/spirits is a large energy and material input, but I’m hoping to share what I learn and help connect everyone that is interested in the subject and making efforts to do better!
