A great example of product stewardship. Go you good things!

Brewing is a process. Especially when we want to make sure that we're doing this in a way that takes responsibility for the natural world today and for generations to come. Which includes reevaluating our brewing and packaging processes. Step by step, we’re replacing all our kegs with Kegs United ones. As one of the founding contributors to this sustainable initiative, our goal is to make all kegs more viable for craft breweries. No more plastic kegs; our aim is to enhance efficiency in the return chain, reducing costs for users and fostering a more sustainable beer supply. Let’s brew together for a brighter and more responsible future! 💪 #kegsunited #lowlander #lowlanderbeer #sustainable #sustainablebrewery

Do you drink coffee everyday?...Today is National Coffee Day! Let’s celebrate not just the comforting aroma and delicious taste of our morning brew but also the hard work of the coffee farmers who make it all possible! How can we support coffee farmers through our coffee choices? 1. Choose Fair Trade Coffee:☕✅ One of the most impactful ways to support coffee farmers is by purchasing Fair Trade coffee. Fair Trade ensures that farmers receive fair compensation for their hard work and that their working conditions are just and ethical. When you buy Fair Trade coffee, you're not just enjoying a cup of joe; you're also contributing to the well-being of coffee farming communities. 2. Support Sustainable Practices:🌱🌏 Many coffee farmers are adopting sustainable farming practices to protect the environment and their crops. Look for coffee brands that promote sustainability, such as shade-grown or organic coffee. These practices not only benefit the environment but also the long-term viability of coffee farming. 3. Visit Local Coffee Shops: ☕🏠 Supporting local coffee shops and roasters often means supporting smaller businesses that have a closer connection to the coffee farmers. These businesses may be more likely to source their coffee responsibly and ethically. Let's celebrate National Coffee Day not just with a cup of our favorite brew but with a commitment to supporting the people behind our daily caffeine fix! Cheers to coffee and the farmers who make it possible! ☕🌍 #NationalCoffeeDay #SupportCoffeeFarmers

We are beyond excited to share that we are recipients of the Coles Nurture Fund in 2024. The funds will help to accelerate our transition to Net Zero Emissions, through enhanced Battery and Inverter Capacity, and state-of-the-art ceramic membrane water filtration, designed to allow the recycling of our waste water into a usable process stream. This will ultimately help us to bring our overall water consumption to 2.5 litres per litre of Beer (currently sitting at 3.5 litres per litre of Beer), a best in class usage rate. Our current emissions-286 grams per litre of CO2e- represents a total emission that is 19% of the industry average emission for beer production - a huge achievement for a little brewery in Jindong. With the help of this grant, we aim to be at zero emissions in 2025 (Scope 1 & 2 emissions). Stay tuned for further updates as we continue to push the boundaries for emissions reductions, waste reduction and environmental responsibility in the manufacturing space.

Happy Earth Day! For anyone interested in ideas to reduce their environmental impact, I’ve listed some of the things I have incorporated over the years below. I know there is a lot more I should do, but these have been easy changes that I think help. Choose what works for you. 1. Veggie diet, which has also had a great impact on my overall health. 2. Buy mostly organic foods, and order sustainable sourced coffee from Café Campesino, located in Americus, GA. 3. Use Blueland soap and cleaning products. Their kits give you the reusable bottles or cans, and you purchase replacement pods that come in composable packaging. All their products have worked great and you can get them on Amazon now.  4. Speaking of Amazon, I select a single day a week delivery to try to reduce the packaging.  5. Use compostable trash bags and ziplock bags.  6. Use a push reel mower and electric edger for my lawn care.  7. Nearly always have my reusable coffee mug or water bottle. I love my Larq that allows me to feel comfortable with refilling anywhere.  8. We bring our own containers to restaurants to reduce the use of single use containers for our leftovers.

The announcement from Pernod Ricard's subsidiary, Crisp Malt, regarding the new state-of-the-art maltings in Moray demonstrates their dedication to sustainability and supports the growth of the Scottish distilling industry. It would be intriguing if, integrating an Energy Management System (EMS), Crisp Malt were to be part of the project, poised to lead the way in sustainability, not only in Scotland but globally. Their initiative at the Moray location's new maltings facility exemplifies Crisp Malt's commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. With a focus on energy efficiency and sustainable business practices, Crisp Malt could set a new standard in the distilling industry and showcase how a company can operate responsibly while achieving business success. There is no doubt that Crisp Malt is taking a proactive approach to sustainability and adopting cutting-edge technology. With their initiatives, they continue to position themselves as leaders in the global movement towards sustainable practices. If they add to that effort by leveraging EMS technology to optimise energy consumption, reduce their carbon footprint, and drive operational efficiency, Crisp Malt could demonstrate, even further, how businesses can make a positive impact on the environment while remaining competitive in the market. Through their innovative efforts and commitment to sustainability, Crisp Malt is not only setting a precedent for the distilling industry but also inspiring other companies globally to prioritise environmental responsibility and contribute to a sustainable future for all. Kudos and great forward-thinking to Crisp Malt!
