• Nutritional Value: Craft beer, brewed with pure ingredients and processes, offers some nutritional value, including B vitamins and bone-supporting nutrients like silicon.
• Out With The Bad, In With The Good: All seltzer and kombucha selections are GMO free and all craft beers are conscientiously brewed using high-quality ingredients.
