Sustainability Efforts
editTwo Brothers Brewing owners Jim and Jason Ebel are passionate about their efforts to promote energy-efficiency in their facilities as they “craft with a conscience.” Their practices include using green, renewable energy at all of their locations, as well as using recycled and recyclable materials in their packaging. [1][2] Extra money was spent purchasing the latest energy-efficient equipment including an ultra-high efficient boiler which allows for the conservation of water during the brewing process.[2][1] To provide their customers with the most fresh produce, Two Brothers facilities grow their own ingredients in their organic rooftop gardens, as well as purchase their products locally from within 200 miles of the restaurant's locations which reduces their carbon footprint by minimizing transportation distance.[2][3] In a display of their commitment to give back to local communities the brewery supplies local farmers with spent grain to aid them in feeding their cattle.[2] The Two Brothers Tap House was the first restaurant in DuPage County and the Two Brothers Roundhouse was the first restaurant in Kane County to join the The Green Chicago Restaurant Coalition[2], whose mission is to "empower members of the foodservice industry and dedicated diners alike to reduce our collective footprint, bolstering the health of our planet and its people."[4] Two Brothers has also joined the Natural Resources Defense Council to support the use of clean water in brewing practices.
