By early 2008 we will implement the next phase of environmentally responsible upgrades:

- Compost 100% of our food waste in collaboration with Cedar Grove Compost
- Seek WSDA organic certification for all of our year-round house beers
- Switch to bio-degradable and compostable plant-fiber to-go boxes, straws, and utensils
- Replace bleached napkins with all-natural, 100% post-consumer napkins

Here’s a list of some of the steps we’ve taken over the past few years to “do the right thing”:

- Replace old light bulbs and fixtures with energy-efficient florescents
- Pioneer food waste recycling at our West Seattle and Burien locations
- Participate in City Light’s GREEN UP renewable energy program at the Gold Level
- Replace our company vehicle with a diesel pick-up that runs on bio-diesel
- Switch to organic barley as the base malt in all our beer recipes
- Pour only organic, fair trade tea and locally roasted coffee at both our pubs
- Serve organic field greens, spinich, and green leaf lettuce in our salads
- Serve ”100% all-natural” drug & hormone free beef, chicken, and pork
- All meat supplied by Fulton Meats, the nation’s first certified sustainable producer
- Re-use spent grain from our brewing process as an ingredient in all our burger buns
- Re-cycle waste fry oil into biodiesel in partnership with Standard Biodiesel
- Feature exclusively locally-brewed guest beers from our home state of Washington
