Environmental Stewardship
Preserving our environment is built into the very core of our brand. Hardywood was the first brewery in Virginia powered entirely by renewable energy, including solar, biomass, and wind through the Dominion Virginia Green Power Program. We work with local farms to reuse our spent grain as compost and feed, and a number of our beers are brewed in support of organizations dedicated to environmental awareness and protection. For these efforts and more, we were honored to be named Virginia Green Brewery of the Year in 2015.

Old Bust Head Brewing Company is a woman-owned, independent, solar-powered microbrewery in Fauquier County, Virginia, 40 miles west of DC, part of a unique farm called ‘Vint Hill’ that for 50 years operated as a top secret military listening post. We believe authenticity and sustainability are key to happiness. We take sustainability way beyond the norm with Geothermal heating and cooling of our taproom, CO2 recapture in our production facility, and the largest solar array of any microbreweries in the MidAtlantic 100kw solar array are just a few of the ways we do all we can to be kinder to the planet. By seeking out and sharing ways of living and operating sustainably, we hope to not only to bring more joy today, but to leave a place for those who come after us to live joyfully as well.
