Hops and Grain
Founded in 2011 in Austin, Texas Hops & Grain Brewing is dedicated to making its community better and greener through partnerships with non-profits, backing of local entrepreneurs and reducing waste like energy and spent grain. A leader in the industry, Josh Hare serves as Chairman of the Board of the Texas Craft Brewers Guild which has advocated to improve growth, sustainability and beer quality for Texas's nearly 300 craft brewers. Hops & Grain is a fearless pioneer, one of the first craft breweries in Austin, the first Austin brewery to join 1% for the Planet, and the first to deploy EKOS software. As the first to deploy Earthly Labs CiCi solution, Hops & Grain expects to reduce CO2 costs by over 50 percent and avoid more than 500,000 lbs. of CO2 emissions over 10 years. They estimate this to be the equivalent of planting up to 800 trees a year.
