A message from our Founder & Brewmaster, Nick Tanner, on a recent charity beer opportunity for Cherry Street Brewing and Mentor Me North Georgia, Inc.:

When I started the concept for Cherry Street Brewing in 2006 long before it became an actual company, we focused on 3 core values, which are still our mission points today: Community, Sustainability, and Education. Basically, we want to enrich our community, reduce our stress on Mother Nature, and the more knowledge and continued education will allow this to happen. Back in my homebrew days in college in Fort Collins, CO, we started a homebrew club focusing on cooperative ideals and we named ourselves Cherry Street Brewing Cooperative. There was a bike co-op, food co-op, and agriculture co-op, so we started a brewing co-op. Everything we do today focuses on these 3 cooperative ideals. In other words, we now let craft beer be social, humble, and charitable. When Cherry Street started brewing beer in late 2012, we made local charity a major philanthropy for our company. We always have local charity beers and charity events to keep our community thriving.
