Capital Brewing Co is Australia’s first brewery to achieve Climate Active carbon neutral certification for their entire organisation and all of their products! The brewery sends spent beer-making ingredients to farmers for cattle feed, composts the leftovers, and minimises water and energy consumption. Their eco-friendly brews include experimental creations like the pineapple-forward hazy pale ale and the tart Crimson Crush cherry sour. The Canberra Taproom offers freshly poured beers for adults, games and playgrounds for kids, as well as shaded lush garden spaces for the entire family.
