    SIERRA SUSTAINABILITY

    There’s cost-benefit, and there’s doing the right thing.

    Our first brewhouse was a hand-built hodgepodge of old dairy equipment. Back then, “reduce, reuse, recycle” wasn’t a catchphrase but a business model. Over the years, we’ve passed up chances to brew more easily and cheaply, choosing not to shortchange our values or the environment.

    Instead, we’re committed to high-quality, low-impact brewing by investing in the largest solar array in craft beer, diverting 99.8% of our solid waste from the landfill, and building the first LEED platinum production brewery in the U.S.

    And there’s so much more. Use our interactive maps below to see how sustainability weaves through everything we do.
