OUR RESPONSIBILITIES

We believe that all companies should be responsible and give back to the communities they operate in. At Birmingham Brewing Company our current commitments to our community are:

 

• WASTE - The waste from the brewing process is collected by Park Farm, Frankley and used as livestock feed. We also separate our non-brewing waste to ensure all our cardboard, glass, plastic and aluminium is recycled.

• CHARITY - We're always happy to support charities. We've donated beer, gift bags, our time and  resources in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Now that our Tap Room has been open a while, we're looking to expand our offerings at the event and work with some local charities to help them fundraise.

• EDUCATION - We offer summer internships to local students so they can gain valuable work experience in a small business. Contact us for more information.

• PACKAGING - We have made the decision to package our beer in cans. This choice was primarily made for flavour, but cans have environmental benefits over bottles too, they are 100% recyclable and are lighter, requiring less energy to transport.

• BREWING PROCESS - Our brewery is designed to maximise efficiency and minimise energy use. We use a heat exchanger after boiling our wort to take the heat out of the wort and use it to heat the brewing liquor for our next batch. Our Mash Tun also has a wedge wire false bottom to maximise efficiency and get the most from our malt and minimise water usage.
