The French Broad River and Our Commitment to Conservation

Asheville’s Natural Environment

The French Broad River is one of the oldest rivers in the world, and it runs through the heart of Asheville, North Carolina. This historic river, which stretches over 218 miles, is not just a natural wonder but also a vital resource for the communities it touches. It provides water for drinking, agriculture, and recreation, and it is home to a diverse ecosystem of plants and animals. The French Broad River’s rich history and ecological importance make it a symbol of life and sustainability in the region.

Our Connection to the French Broad River

At French Broad River Brewery, the river is more than just an inspiration for our name—it’s a crucial part of our identity and a source of pride. We recognize the importance of preserving this natural resource for future generations and are committed to doing our part to protect and conserve the French Broad River.

Conservation Efforts

Our dedication to the French Broad River extends beyond our name. We actively support conservation initiatives aimed at protecting the river’s health and ecosystem. Here are some of the ways we contribute to the preservation of the French Broad River:

• Partnerships with Local Conservation Groups: We collaborate with local organizations dedicated to river conservation, such as RiverLink and the French Broad Riverkeeper. These partnerships allow us to support efforts to reduce pollution, restore natural habitats, and promote sustainable water management practices.
• Sustainable Brewing Practices: At French Broad River Brewery, we are committed to using environmentally friendly brewing practices that minimize our impact on the river. This includes reducing water usage, responsibly managing waste, and sourcing ingredients from local, sustainable farms whenever possible.
• Community Engagement: We believe that protecting the French Broad River is a community effort. That’s why we host and participate in events that raise awareness about the river’s importance and encourage others to join us in conservation efforts. From river clean-ups to educational workshops, we strive to involve our community in preserving this precious resource.
• Eco-Friendly Packaging: We are constantly exploring ways to reduce our environmental footprint, including using recyclable and biodegradable packaging for our products. This not only helps reduce waste but also supports the health of the French Broad River and the surrounding environment.
