Local Owners Use Solar Panels

To Brew Beer in the U.S.

Inside of the Civil Life Brewery in south city owner Jake Hafner

is doing what he’s always wanted. To run his own business, he also wanted to make sure it was green. He figured installing 104 solar panels on the roof of his brewery’s old warehouse was a no brainer. Straight up solar put them in, they also installed a system at Urban Chestnut Brewery in midtown.

The panels went up in August and currently we get 30 to 40 percent of our electrical needs from our solar panel so we have a 25 kilowatt system.”
