The distinction was awarded by the the Energy Transition Institute at UMass Amherst, which serves as one of the administrators of the BetterBev recognition program through a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s (EPA) Pollution Prevention Program. Aquatic joins a growing number of beverage producers in Massachusetts and beyond that have earned recognition for their environmentally conscious business practices. While brewing is resource-intensive by nature, there are many opportunities for most businesses to reduce their environmental impact and improve their bottom line.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A commitment to thoughtful standard operating procedures has helped Aquatic Brewing achieve below average use of water and purchased CO<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, resulting in lower operating costs. Among its notable conservation measures is avoiding once-through process water that would go straight to sewer by capturing it for reuse in other brewhouse operations. Another, a technique referred to as spunding, captures CO<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> produced by the fermentation process to help carbonate the beer while it\u2019s still in the tank. This reduces the need for purchased CO<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that typically comes from byproducts at ammonia and other chemical plants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The environmentally conscious brewer is also offsetting all of its electricity use by subscribing to a community solar project through Grasshopper Energy. Pair that with its decision to go with an electric brew house and Aquatic\u2019s emissions are significantly lower than that of similar sized breweries. Additionally, a commitment to side-streaming all of its brewing process by-products (spent grain, hops, yeast, and other organic solids) for donation to local farms that use them to supplement animal feed and create compost, decreases the emissions that would otherwise result at a landfill.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The BetterBev program was launched to help beverage producers understand their environmental impact, increase efficiency, improve health and safety, conserve natural resources, and improve their businesses. Recognition is earned after a beverage producer\u2019s local BetterBev administrator\u00a0 works with them to assess their environmental practices and impact. The process covers a range of criteria including water and energy use, waste, and even environmental culture.

Along the way, they learned nearly as much about brewing beer as they did about the oceans. The Aquatic taproom opened in November 2020 and promotes community through collaborations, events, and charity while serving as a meeting place for everyone and a hub to connect to other facets of the Falmouth and Woods Hole Communities. With ties to environmental science, Aquatic Brewing is committed to sustainable practices and doing things the right way, not necessarily the easy way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"\/> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Post Views:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">47<\/span>&#13;\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"et_social_bottom_trigger\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0 PRESS RELEASE \/ August, 2026 (Falmouth, MA) \u2013\u00a0Falmouth\u2019s Aquatic Brewing has been recognized as a \u201cgreen beverage producer\u201d by the BetterBev program.
