Sustainability Report for Bladesmith Gastro Brewery
A group of entrepreneurs was looking for help in integrating sustainability thinking into the design and development of a new brewpub in Madison. The team provided recommendations on where the greatest cost savings opportunities were in the micro-brewing industry, a plan for how to realize those costs savings during the design process, metrics for measuring progress, a training plan and information on any funding that might be available to them.
Outcomes
A new brewpub opening soon in Madison is hoping to integrate sustainability from the ground up. UW-Madison students gave recommendations on everything from sustainable design to sustainable micro-brewing.
