Founded in Michigan (aka The Great Beer State) Drink Beach Beer began as a movement to encourage the craft beer community to help keep our Great Lakes clean. We now invite beer lovers from around the world to partake in keeping our global lakes, rivers, oceans, and beaches clean.

What does Drink Beach Beer do?
We have three primary focuses:
•Promoting awareness.
• Providing educational resources for both craft beer drinkers and craft breweries on beach-friendly, sustainable options.
• Connecting individuals to credible beach conservation organizations.

Does Drink Beach Beer make money?
Nope. We are a self-funded, 100% volunteer-based organization dedicated solely to connecting you to educational resources and environmental conservation organizations. We don’t want your money – give it to them!

What does craft beer have to do with keeping beaches clean?
Good question. We’ve noticed that members of the craft beer community tend to be passionate individuals that care. We knew it wouldn’t be hard to convince craft beer drinkers to be conscious about their choices for the betterment of all.

How do I get featured on Drink Beach Beer’s social media?
To be considered for our Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, use the hashtag #DrinkBeachBeer and tag us @drinkbeachbeer

Why are you against glass?
Good question! We aren’t against glass, just bringing glass to the beach. In many places bringing glass to the beach is illegal, but additionally it can become a safety hazard to animals and fellow beach goers. 

How can we avoid using plastic during a beach cleanup?
When it comes to beach cleanups, we encourage our volunteers to use reusable gloves to help cut down on waste, and highly recommend ones like these by If You Care, which are made with fair rubber from FSC certified forests. They’re also compostable! We also encourage organizations to provide latex gloves, since latex is a renewable resource OR biodegradable nitrile gloves. Additionally, though not always feasible, we try to use trash bags made from recycled plastic or certified compostable trash bags. Please let us know if you have ideas for other options – we love learning how to be better environmental stewards!
