Space efficiency
The brewery says the theoretical footprint represented by 70 panels is about 2,275 square feet, roughly twice the room they physically occupy.
Farm to plate, reimagined
The farm is upstairs.
A 70-panel aeroponic system on the third floor grows fresh food year-round in a town where conventional agriculture and long supply chains can be challenging.

How aeroponics works
Roots in air. Nutrients in a mist.
Plants are suspended with their canopy in the light while roots sit in a dark, humid chamber. A fine nutrient-rich mist is applied at intervals, and unused water and nutrients recirculate through the system.
The live farm page notes that aeroponics can use up to 98% less water than traditional farming and about 60% less than other hydroponic applications. Oxygen surrounding the exposed roots helps support rapid nutrient uptake and growth.
Brewery → farm
Waste becomes an input.
Carbon dioxide created during brewing is captured and diverted to the growing environment. The legacy farm page reports an approximately 25% production increase from CO₂ use, while a later farm article describes gains of up to 30%; the exact percentage remains flagged for final client verification.

Why build a farm in a brewery?
Control the variables. Shorten the supply chain.
Closed loop
Water and nutrients not absorbed by plant roots are recirculated instead of simply discarded.
Cleaner control
The live site states that no harmful pesticides, herbicides or fungicides are used in the indoor system.
Use the heat, too
Even the grow lights do another job.
Heat generated by the LED growing system is exchanged through fans to help warm adjacent offices, reducing wasted energy.
The brewery also states that recycled fryer oil is converted to biodiesel supporting building heat and the steam used in brewing.
