YARDS has done it again!* Last week, YARDS Brewing Company was the proud recipient of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce’s Green Business of the Year award:

In recognition of Yards Brewing Company's continued dedication to the    environmental stewardship of the Greater Philadelphia region and leadership in promoting a sustainable urban business model.

In appreciation of Yards' customers and supporters, who support the local craft beer movement and Yards' dedication to clean air, fresh water and great tasting beer.

In acknowledgment of Yards' dedicated employees, who consistently develop new ways to reduce, reuse and recycle in all facets of the brewery's operations.

Tom Kehoe, Owner and Founder of YARDS, was delighted to accept this award on behalf of his environmentally friendly brews and bros.  “The employees of Yards are very proud to have been recognized for this award," he said.  "Collectively we strive to reduce our waste and we take many efforts to cut our waste stream wherever possible.  Across the board we are all active in participating in this effort."

So remember, quality does not have to be sacrificed by choosing a more sustainable path. YARDS strives to prove this point every day through business operations and company culture. We should all recognize these noble efforts from our favorite beer guys and make the next round a YARDS.

*YARDS was recognized earlier this year by PennFuture for being the first 100% Wind Powered Brewery in Pennsylvania!
