Hopworks earned B Corp certification in 2015, becoming the first B Corp brewery in the Pacific Northwest, and seventh in the world. B Corps must meet rigorous social and environmental performance standards, accountability, and transparency. Today, there are 49 B Corp breweries worldwide and 24 in the US.
Hopworks is proud to be Oregon's first and currently only certified B Corp brewery.
Our triannual B Corp assessment highlights our strengths as well as our opportunities for improvement. It is this honest, up-close look in the mirror that drives our strategic direction. We are super proud of our consistently high achievements in the environmental sector, and we are eager to focus more on opportunities around our social commitment in the areas of workers, customers and community.
This assessment holds us accountable not only for maintaining high standards, but for ongoing growth and development. We are excited to continue our journey making Hopworks a great place to work and gather, a vital hub of our community.
As part of our mission to use beer as a force for good, we prioritize working with and purchasing from fellow B Corps to run our pubs and brewery. Not only do we get to work with like-minded people, but increase our overall impact on our planet and community.
We proudly brew our beer with Salmon-Safe hops from 5th-generation Roy Farms in Yakima. These hops provide excellent flavor thanks to their proprietary Farm Fresh Pelletizing process, while simultaneously protecting our regional watershed.
From the start in the founder's kitchen to becoming Oregon's top-selling wine brand, A to Z Wineworks has been on a mission to offer dependable, quality wine accessible for all since 2014.
Each year, Hopworks partners with our friends at Glory Bee Honey to brew our year-round Beestly Organic Honey Porter. Not only is it tasty, but it helps bring awareness to the Save the Bee Initiative.
Our friends at Grand Central Bakery are key partners and touch many items on our menus. From sandwich bread and buns to our famous pretzel sticks, we are grateful to partner with a bakery that values our community as much as we do.
We don't serve just beer - we have lots of NA options, like Nossa Familia Coffee! Our friends at Nossa make delicious roasts that are great with dessert or in cocktails.
Available exclusively at our Vancouver pub, Townshend Cellar wines are a delicious and conscious drink. They are a B Corp winery, members of 1% for the Planet, and also donate 2% of annual revenue to local nonprofits. What's not to love!?
Patagonia Provisions joined us in creating Long Root Ale, the first commercial product to feature Kernza, a perennial, no-till grain that uses 50% less water than conventional grain.
In 2021 we made an exceptional Organic Hazy IPA with our friends (and fellow B Corp!) at Aslan Brewing Co. Our Eco Freak IPA collaboration was brewed using locally sourced, organic ingredients and Salmon-Safe hops.
