We are excited to congratulate Contrary Brewing Co., out of Muscatine, IA, on joining the ranks of the Iowa Green Brewery Certification. Their overall waste management and energy efficiency helped them in receiving a bronze level certification.

Procedures that Contrary implemented, in regards to their exceptional resource management and energy efficiency, were their recycling efforts, diversion of food waste from the landfill, and installation of high-efficiency appliances.

Joe Bolick, manager of the Iowa Green Brewery Certification says, “Contrary was an absolute joy to work with. With their recent expansion, they really looked at the environmental impact they could have and made a lot of decisions to minimize that. This is well-deserved recognition for a really cool place.”Contrary Brewing Co.
