Rahr Sons Brewery

We tour Rahr & Sons Brewing Company in Fort Worth. The tour was presented by brewer Jason Lyon. The warehouse was, previously owned by Coca Cola. The used of mixed machinery dairy and brewing.  The ceiling was very clean, free of dust. The information given was not mainly sustainability related.  Personally I believe that more information could be shared if person was aware of subject matter the class was interested in. From the website http://rahrbrewing.com/ Rahr recycles six-pack carriers, leftover grain given to cattle, and spent grain turned into bread.  The company can increase their sustainability practices or at least letting them known if already doing it, by having more community outreach. My recommendations for this company will be to go for a more sustainable company by implementing the three pillars of sustainability economic, social, and environmental side. The cleanliness of the ceiling was amazing due to fact that most warehouses have dusty and dirty.
