Our mission is to grow a brewing operation that is sustainable both in regards to the longevity of the business and in the usage of energy, agricultural resources, and our land.

​

Since April 4. 2019, our brewery has been 100% solar-powered. Installed on our roof is a 287kW photovoltaic solar array that offsets 100% of our electrical usage and typically pushes an additional 5,000 kWh per year back into the power grid.

​

Nod Hill is one of the first breweries to be included in the DEEP's BetterBev New England program. This initiative aims to recognize & provide guidance to environmentally sustainable businesses in the craft beverage field.

​

Other Green Initiatives

- We send most of our spent grain to a local farm, any extra goes to a composter

- We compost all food waste & service-ware in our Biergarten

- Numerous processes within the brewhouse have been thoughtfully designed to conserve water, electricity, packaging materials, and C02.

- Our grounds, which include a 1-acre native pollinator meadow, are part of the Norwalk River Pollinator Pathway, and have been designed & maintained with the principles of eco-restoration, river bank protection, and native horticulture in mind.

 

Since opening in 2017, we have strived to implement sustainable practices & support a variety of environmental causes. As substantial users of electricity (we brew on a fully electric system), we always seek opportunities to decrease our carbon footprint.
