At Fonta Flora Brewery, our mission is to take back that narrative by creating beers with a sense of place and agricultural purpose.
There was a time when brewing beer was as closely associated with a farm as most wineries are today. As the beverage increased in popularity, more and more breweries started opening in cities, leaving behind their agricultural roots. As brewing ingredients transformed into big agribusiness and became a commodity, the importance of local and regional ingredients went away. At Fonta Flora Brewery, our mission is to take back that narrative by creating beers with a sense of place and agricultural purpose.
