CHARLOTTE, Mich. — The Michigan Arbor Day Alliance (MADA), a program within the Eaton Conservation District, is partnering up with Arbor Brewing Company for the month of April to help raise money for tree plantings near wetlands, lakes and rivers. Arbor Brewing is raising money through the sale of their Treebeard IPA and donating to MADA! Trees help naturally filter our water, and we know that clean water = clean beer! So what we’re saying is… drink more beer to help us plant more trees!
About Arbor Brewing Company
Arbor Brewing Company has two locations: Ypsilanti (Corner Brewery), Ann Arbor (Brewpub). They have been a pioneer in the craft beer industry since opening the brewpub in downtown Ann Arbor in 1995. The staff at Arbor Brewing pride themselves in being environmentally conscious. They have installed solar panels on the roof of their Corner Brewery location and the Brewpub in Ann Arbor is in the process of working towards composting all waste and having 100% compostable to-go containers, straws, napkins, etc. They should reach their goal in the next couple months. They also support local farmers and hop growers by local and Michigan-grown ingredients whenever possible, both in brewery production and in their kitchens. For years, Arbor Brewing has been participating in Earth Day Clean-ups, Arbor Day events and supporting the Huron Watershed Council. Every year, they hope to grow and expand their efforts. It is Arbor Brewing’s goal to plant as many trees/shrubs as possible this year near wetlands and rivers to help reduce erosion, stormwater runoff and to clean the water we drink.

“Treebeard is a midwest IPA that is loaded with tropical notes such as pineapple, mango, and citrus which make this brew refreshing and perfect for spring while still being satisfying to the most eccentric hop heads out there. Featuring simcoe, mosaic and comet hops and backed up by a Vienna and caramel malts the beer will also appeal to those who like more Earthy brews and prefer not to be overrun with a hoppy beer. Simply put Treebeard is an IPA that can truly appeal to any beer lover with its rich malty characteristics but unique and flavorful hop selection which makes a perfect beer to enjoy on a spring day under the shade of a luscious tree in your backyard.”
