We are incredibly honored to be featured in Style Weekly for our partnership with Thistledew Fold ! ๐พ๐
Brewing delicious beer takes a lot of grain, but the journey doesnโt end in our mash tun. We love getting to share our spent grain with local farm friends to make sure nothing goes to waste. Itโs all about keeping things full-circle and supporting our local community right here in the Richmond area.
Huge thank you to Style Weekly for highlighting this project, and to Thistledew Fold for being the best partners we could ask for!
