More Than Beer

Through The Neighborhood Beer, we’re not just giving back; we’re celebrating the communities that inspire us. From amplifying local stories on our packaging and social channels to working hand-in-hand with neighbors, this is more than just a beer. It’s an initiative to ensure our communities continue to flourish.

What We’re About

While we’ll continue our broader support for our giving initiatives through the Big Grove for Good Foundation, we also know that sometimes it’s the small things that make the biggest difference. The Neighborhood Beer Micro-Grant Program empowers individuals and neighbors to bring positive change to their communities with grants ranging from $250 to $1,000.

Why It Matters

We believe strong communities are built through small acts of connection and care. By funding micro-grants, we’re investing directly in the people and projects that bring neighborhoods together—helping to strengthen bonds and create lasting positive change.
