The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation – Office of Policy and Sustainable Practices (OPSP) invites you to join us for the Tennessee Sustainable Spirits’ first webinar of the year. The first of our two webinars will discuss how spirits producers can address sustainability and community engagement. Attendees will learn more about how spirits producers can engage with the community in a way that educates or encourages sustainability.

The TN State Parks Conservancy has partnered with Tennessee Brew Works to develop a beer made with 100% local ingredients in which a portion of proceeds from beer sales goes to the conservancy. Kelly Tipler form the TN State Park Conservancy will be discussing ways producers can partner with non-profit community organizations. East Nashville Beer Works is a brewery designed around the concept of community. Anthony Davis will be discussing how East Nashville Beer Works engages with the community and how others can do the same.
