Green Mansions Foundation was lucky enough to tour Milwaukee’s very own Lakefront Brewery yesterday. The tour costs only $7 and included beer tokens redeemable for 4 generous pours of Lakefront’s best brews. Lakefront encourages sustainability and rewards you with a free pint glass upon the return of your compostable beer cup at the end of the tour.
Lakefront Brewery has teamed up with Growing Power, a local nonprofit that supports people from diverse backgrounds to develop community food centers. Lakefront delivers over 20,000 pounds of brewery waste to Growing Power every week. This waste becomes worm food and eventually becomes vermicompost. Lakefront then uses the vermicompost to support its brewing hops.
Next time you’re in Milwaukee, stop by Lakefront Brewery, enjoy some amazing beer, and support sustainable brewing.
