Hopworks Urban Brewery opens its “B Store” for the holidays
Portland’s Hopworks Urban Brewery was the first brewery in the Pacific Northwest to achieve certified B Corporation status (meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance), and for the holiday season HUB has partnered with several other local B Corps to launch its Holiday B Store. This online store brings local products together in one place for holiday shopping, and better yet offers curbside pickup and contactless beer delivery for it all.
Here is the press release with details:
Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB) has opened a seasonal B Store with some of its local B Corp partners. The B Store features an item for sale from each partner that exemplifies their brand; Hopworks has also put together a gift bundle featuring all the items that customers can purchase for themselves and loved ones. Currently, the store contains products from Brew Dr. Kombucha, GloryBee, Rogue Creamery, and Nossa Familia Coffee. Items purchased from GloryBee and Nossa Familia benefit Save The Bee and the De la Gente Young Farmers Fund, respectively.
“We know this is a trying time for everyone out there, so we wanted to bring some of our B Corp partners that we already work with to create a holiday store where shoppers can buy local and support businesses working to be a force for good,” said Matt Sutherland, Brand Manager at Hopworks. “We’re stoked to have brought these partners together and we encourage other local B Corps that want to join to reach out!”
Hopworks’ B Store is open through the holiday season until December 31. Shoppers can purchase items online at www.hopworksbeer.com/bstore for curbside pickup or contact-free delivery from either of Hopworks’ pubs on 2944 SE Powell Blvd in Portland or 17707 SE Mill Plain Blvd in Vancouver.
Certified B Corps are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

This is a great idea and I’d love to see it expanded even more (and past the holidays). But right now you could put together a nice gift package in time for Christmas, while helping support local businesses. So what are you waiting for?
