Paddle it Forward
From day one the founders of Bent Paddle Brewing Co. not only wanted to start and run a successful brewing business, they also wanted to leverage that business to become a strong community supporter, partner and voice for the company’s charitable and sustainable values.
Bent Paddle is especially committed to organizations that support wilderness conservation, human-powered activities and outdoor recreation (especially if there is a paddle involved!), education, humanitarian, racial & social justice causes, economic stability of our Northland neighbors, armed forces / veteran services and local arts / music.
With our “Paddle It Forward” initiative Bent Paddle Brewing Co. has donated money, beer, on-site beer sampling stations, auction and raffle items, special tours and taproom venue use on off-days to over 500 non-profit’s totaling over $500,000 in value since opening in May of 2013.
