The release of Good Grove Fruited Lager commemorates the Big Grove pledge to plant 400 trees in four years. The trees will be planted in the communities where we live, work, and play.
Creating a lasting environmental impact is central to our mission at Big Grove Brewery. Planting trees in these communities will increase tree canopy and biodiversity. Plus other benefits like carbon reduction, stormwater mitigation, and air quality benefits. Our investment in tree diapers helps ensures survivability by slowly releasing water to trees over time.
The Project So Far
By the time of our second release of Good Grove 170 trees will have been planted in Iowa communities. Our partners at Trees Forever work to help us ensure that the right trees are planted in the right places. We aim to improve the quality of life by creating more green spaces and instilling an appreciation for the environment. Big Grove has more trees scheduled to be planted in the fall in Iowa. We plan to expand the project to Nebreska in 2025.
