Sustainably Brewed
We Brew with Nature in Mind.
Brewed with Respect for Nature
At South Latitude 16°, sustainability isn’t just a commitment – it’s the foundation of everything we do. We craft our beers using pure, untouched artesian water drawn from a protected aquifer, ensuring every brew begins with nature’s finest ingredient. This same water also flows into our line of bottled artisan drinking water, bringing the same care and respect to every drop we share with the world.
Water Stewardship: Protecting Our Aquifer
We are deeply aware of the value of the aquifer that sustains both our brewing and our community. Our approach to water sourcing is focused on:
Low-impact extraction that ensures the long-term health of the aquifer
Sustainable flow monitoring in partnership with local environmental experts
Reinvestment into aquifer protection initiatives, including reforestation and wetland preservation
Sustainable Brewing Practices
Our brewing process is designed to minimize waste and reduce emissions at every step:
Efficient brewing systems that conserve water and energy
Spent grain recycling for local farms and livestock
Locally sourced ingredients wherever possible to reduce carbon miles
Solar-assisted operations to cut down on non-renewable energy use
Drink Sustainably
Every time you enjoy a South Latitude 16° beer or a bottle of our artisan water, you’re part of a cycle that honors and protects the natural world. Let’s raise a glass.
– to great beer, clean water, and a better future.
