Our team aspired to add value to our city before we’d ever brewed a drop of beer. 3 years later, our community impact programming sometimes looks like raising money to combat hunger, poverty, and homelessness, and other times like creating exhibition and enrichment opportunities for our local arts community. We’re still learning and expanding, but whatever lay ahead, we hope our city is better off because we’re here.
Advantage Behavioral Health provides intervention, treatment, and counseling to individuals experiencing behavioral health issues.
The Athens Area Homeless Shelter provides comprehensive services to homeless families working toward sustainable independence.
The Athens Community Council on Aging serves our senior population through advocacy, engagement, and support programming.
The Ark serves our neighbors in financial crisis, helping to move them toward stability through financial literacy and microlending.
Through a community of volunteers, Mercy Health Center provides quality whole-person healthcare to our underserved neighbors.
Chosen For Life educates and equips communities to love and care for orphans through adoption grants and foster care initiatives.
With sustainability as a major focus in our equipment selection and plant design, our new facility gives us the controls to make high quality beer exactly the way we want, with better shelf stability and with much greater efficiency. Every system has been upgraded from water treatment to boilers all the way through to packaging.
We’re days away from initiating our second community impact brand, Get Artistic. Similar to Get Comfortable, this program will be supported through program-related merchandise, as well as a seasonal release—a tart wheat beer brewed with Sauvignon Blanc grape juice, a nod to the common provision of white wine at art gallery openings.
