Brewers for Clean Water

It all starts with H2O.

We are proud to be brewed at Pilot Project in downtown Chicago who teamed up with 54 other breweries to make a call to protect our most important ingredient.

“Craft breweries were not happy when the Trump administration tried—repeatedly—to roll back America’s clean water protections. Over the last four years, brewers have spoken out against attempts to strip federal protections from vulnerable waterways, weaken water pollution standards for coal-fired power plants, and create regulatory loopholes for pollution that travels into waterways through groundwater.”

We all had good reason to object: Water is our most important ingredient, and strong safeguards for this resource are crucial for breweries’ bottom line. That’s why 55 craft breweries from every region of the country asked the Biden administration to restore the protections that were slashed. They submitted a letter to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan and the agency’s Office of Water asking for swift action to ensure their businesses—and their communities—maintain access to clean, safe waterways.
