Sustainability

At Heartland Brewery we take pride in doing our part to minimize our impact on the environment and run a sustainable operation. Wherever possible we try to take into consideration the environmental impact of what we do and minimize it while retaining the superb quality of our beer.
  • All of our beer is put into kegs, a packaging less impactful on the environment than bottles or cans.

  • We strive to use local products (e.g. honey, hops, wildflowers) in all of our beers.

  • All of the wort, a byproduct that is left behind after the mashing process when we brew beer, is shipped off to local farms and ranches and used as feed for livestock.

  • Deliveries to and from the brewery are consolidated to achieve maximum efficiency.

  • All suppliers and partners are asked to show evidence of their environmentally responsible practices, specifically focused on recycling and energy efficiency.

  • We make sure our employees recycle materials such as paper, scrap metal, and plastics at the brewery and at our locations throughout Manhattan.
