Community
Something we’re fanatics about is giving back to our community. After all, we’re raising our kids and dogs here. We want it to still be good when our grandkids and future pets are roaming the place. For us, that means a community that’s interesting. Inspiring. A place to thrive. So we regularly support over 200 nonprofit organizations each year with in-kind and monetary donations, and/or volunteers. We are also a big believer in and supporter of our city’s ambitious annual Give! Campaign. During the campaign each November-December, we donate .50 from every Flagship beer we sell in the pub to the nonprofits in that year’s campaign.
Bristol’s Benefit Beers
Our most unique effort so far is our Benefit Beers program. Each year we brew a different beer for each of three local nonprofits, and donate 100% of the profits–yep, 100%–from the beers to those causes. We believe each of these nonprofits contributes to our one-of-a-kind quality of life around here. Read more about them here.
Since 2006, our Benefit Beers program has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for these local nonprofits. But here’s the best part: When you choose to enjoy a Benefit Beer, you’re choosing to give back, too. Community support was never so tasty.
