Wildwood Brewing

Wildwood Brewing 成立於2012年，所產啤酒皆獲有美國USDA有機認證，其釀酒廠位於蒙大拿西部Bitterroot Valley 最原始、廣闊的大自然環境中。Jim Lueders是該公司的釀酒大師，1990年時曾在德國受訓，且有30家來自世界各地的新創啤酒廠向他諮詢專業建議；自1987年始從事啤酒釀造的他，不僅是精釀啤酒業的先進，更是蒙州最資深的釀酒師，他也協助籌辦蒙大拿1989年第一屆啤酒釀造慶典。

Wildwood Brewery 致力於在釀酒廠周圍建立一具整合性的農場系統，讓此系統內的所有廢棄物都能被重複利用、再創新價值，盡力達成淨零碳排。場內使用木骨架穀倉、草捆牆和地板采暖，建築物兼具美觀與效能。釀酒廠使用的電力產於廠內的50kW太陽能系統，由Mr. Lueders設計和建造的冷水機系統運用冷空氣降低發酵時的溫度，能同時減少所耗能源和溫室氣體排放量。Wildwood努力在一個有付出和回報的體系中蓬勃發展，期望不浪費任何資源並創造價值。

Wildwood Brewing was established in 2012 and makes all of its beers under the 100% USDA Organic Certification. We are located in the pristine Bitterroot valley in Western Montana at the foot of the largest wilderness in the contiguous United Stated. The brewmaster, Jim Lueders, was trained in Germany in 1990 and consulted to 30 brewery start ups located around the world. He is the longest lasting brewer in the State of Montana, since 1987, a true pioneer in the Craft beer industry. He helped organize the first Brewers festival in Montana, 1989.

The Wildwood Brewery is committed to building an integrated farm system around the brewery where all wastes are used as value added input to another process striving for zero emissions. The buildings integrate salvaged timber frame barns, straw bale walls and radiant floor heat, efficient and beautiful. The electricity used by the brewery is generated on site by a 50kW solar system. The chiller system, designed and built by Mr. Lueders utilizes cold air to strip the heat from the fermenting brew, saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas. Wildwood strives to thrive in a system of giving and receiving where all has value and nothing is wasted.
