In the Spring of 2020 we were one of the awarded nominees for the 2019 Ecostar Pollution Prevention Award for our sustainably efforts we've put forth.
We love playing outside as much as we like serving craft beer. That's why we're constantly working to better our planet through sustainability practices. Philipsburg Brewing is a one of six breweries in the Sustainability Pilot Program through Montana State University Manufacturing Extension Center & Uncommon Sense. The following projects have been implemented as a result of that program:
Cardboard Initiative 2018:
