Exciting News for Phoenix: Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company Opens a New Location!
Phoenix just got a little greener! Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company, known for its commitment to sustainable practices, has opened a brand-new location this week on McDowell Road. This isn’t just any ordinary brewery; it’s a spot where enjoying a pint can come with a side of environmental consciousness. Just think about it: every sip you take helps save the Earth!
Saving Water, One Beer at a Time
Since 2019, Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company has been on a mission. They’ve saved an impressive approximately 600 million gallons of water by rethinking their beer ingredients. That’s like taking a long bath and then allowing the whole city to join you—yikes right? But thanks to a focus on using ingredients like drought-tolerant Sinagua Barley, which requires less water compared to traditional hops, they’ve truly made waves in their industry. Each pint of their flagship brew, aptly named This Beer Saves Water, conserves more than 50 gallons of water that would have otherwise gone to waste. The barley used in this beer not only tastes great but also does right by the environment.
A Brewery with a Heart for the Community
The Arizona Wilderness team knows that sustainable practices extend beyond their brewing. Their new spot is set in a repurposed building, enhanced with energy and water-saving technology. This is an integral part of their mission to inspire other local businesses to adopt similar initiatives. Not just about their own bottom line, Arizona Wilderness collaborates with northern Arizona farmers to support sustainable barley production and provide them with a steady market. Together, they’re creating a community focused on preserving local resources for everyone.
Speaking of community, the brewery proudly features a menu made primarily from locally-grown and raised ingredients. When you enjoy a meal here, you can feel good knowing that your plate is supporting local farmers and suppliers, and it tastes wonderful too.
Earth Day with a Twist: Drink Like You Care
As we celebrate Earth Day 2023, Arizona Wilderness is encouraging patrons with a catchy slogan: “Drink Like You Care.” It’s a call-to-action for both beer lovers and the environmentally-conscious. With each drink you purchase, you are contributing to a larger goal and proving that enjoying a cold one doesn’t have to come at the expense of the planet.
But that’s not all. This brewery goes the extra mile in other areas as well. They value waste reduction through meticulous composting and recycling practices, while also eliminating single-use plastics on-site. Even their restrooms are outfitted with recycled toilet paper, and their merchandise, like T-shirts, is made from recycled water bottles. Talk about wearing your green heart on your sleeve—or shirt!
Water Management Innovations
Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company has also integrated rainwater retention systems into their locations. This helps manage runoff and promotes groundwater recharge, demonstrating their commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible water management.
