Brewery Terra Firma is Michigan's 1st environmentally friendly, sustainable, agricultural production brewery & taproom making culinary inspired beer and cider in a responsible way. Whole ingredients are used with traditional brewing equipment, controlled by state of the art systems that manage temperature throughout the process. These same systems harvest waste BTU's, capturing energy that would normally be lost and reuse it to preheat ingredients, maintain product temperatures, and even heat the taproom via an in-floor heating system. Waste materials such as process water and spent grain are also captured and stored for fertilization and irrigation of our crops. Fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables are a common sight, along with an amazing array of spices, roots and even flowers. Whole foods, fresh frozen or dried are used, artificial flavorings, extracts and coloring agents are not. The beer is unfiltered and unpasteurized, its clarity being attained by the addition of natural clarifying agents and allowing ample time for the beer to clear.
