"Great Lakes" IPA Six-Pack, 2019

01

Artifact Overview

Microbreweries emerged in the late 1900s as public interest in sustainable practices and made-from-scratch foods and beverages became popular and profitable. Many pursue ecologically friendly business practices (touting pure water and locally sourced or organic crops) and remind consumers of their shared responsibility. Great Lakes Brewing Company, an employee-owned microbrewery, committed itself to the environmental health of the Great Lakes and sustainable practices.
