San Diego Brewcycling Collaborative

Website

San Diego Brewcycling Collaborative Bringing the SD Craft Beverage Community together in order to sort, separate, and properly recycle production waste streams.

The San Diego Brewcycling Collaborative is a volunteer-based organization that is offering breweries and distilleries in San Diego County an opportunity to positively impact the environment by providing them with a better system to sort and recycle the waste they generate. We’ve created a NEW recycling program that properly and responsibly recycles malt bags, grain bags, paktechs, shrink wrap, aluminum and cardboard. We wish to create awareness about the plastic crisis, as well as the broken recycling system, by educating our citizens and uniting the industry and the county. Our goal is to achieve this awareness while diverting unnecessary waste from landfills and promoting the necessity for Extended Producer Responsibility.

🍺♻️ Brewcycling on CBS 8!

A little snippet from our conversation with Neda Iranpour from CBS 8 San Diego for their Brewing Local series! 💚

We spent about 20 minutes talking all things Brewcycling — how this initiative started, the waste challenges facing our local craft b**r industry, what we’ve been working on, and where we hope to take it next.

A HUGE thank you to Neda for taking the time to really dive into our work and for giving us a platform to share why this initiative matters. 🥹🌎 We’re so grateful for every opportunity to get more people talking about waste, recycling, and better systems for our community.

Here’s just a few minutes of our conversation! 🎥 Watch the full segment at the link in our bio to learn more about the biggest challenges we’re working to solve — from the massive volumes of low-value materials and limited recycling outlets, to the partners who have stepped up to help us find solutions Plastic Beach Country Malt Group — plus more about our Fermenting Change collaboration b**r with Societe Brewing Company! 🍺♻️

Thank you and Neda for helping us spread the word! 💚

Always the best time at Capital of Craft B**r Fest! 🥳🍻🖤 Great b**r, good friends, and a chance to share what we do with the craft b**r community. ♻️ Thank you San Diego Brewers Guild + SD B**r for having us!

We were extra excited to see our Fermenting Change Helles, brewed in collaboration with Societe Brewing Company, pouring at the fest! 🍺♻️ We got to try it ourselves for the first time and it was sooo yummy, crisp and refreshing! 👏🏽❤️‍🔥 And apparently everyone else agreed… the keg kicked before 1:30pm! 🤯🍻

Missed it at the fest? Fermenting Change is now available at Societe taprooms! 🙌🏽

We’ll also be gathering at Societe for a happy hour in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned 👀 we’ll announce the date soon! 🖤🍺♻️

🍺♻️ OUR FERMENTING CHANGE COLLAB BREW IS BACK — AND YOU CAN TRY IT TOMORROW AT CAPITAL OF CRAFT B**R FEST!

Our 2nd annual Fermenting Change b**r releases tomorrow, Saturday 9/19, pouring at the Societe Brewing Company booth! Come say hello 👋 SD Brewcycling will be right next door! ♻️

Last year, Pizza Port Bressi Ranch kicked off Fermenting Change with a delicious IPA. This year, Societe Brewing took the reins and welcomed our BrewSCRAPS community into the brewery to make a refreshing Helles! ❤️🍺

We brewed, talked trash (literally 😅), shared Brewcycling updates, and celebrated BIG progress: we’re finally testing a transportation pilot with Plastic Beach to help move the hard-to-recycle plastics collected through BrewSCRAPS! 🚛♻️🙏🏼

Another reminder that collaboration is key to progress in sustainability. And that’s what Fermenting Change is all about — bringing our community together around GOOD B**R while raising awareness and funds for plastic waste diversion and education in the craft beverage industry. 💚🌎

Huge thank you to our 2026 ingredient sponsors Country Malt Group + John I. Haas, Inc., to Societe for hosting, The Bountiful Bag for fueling us with breakfast 🥯☕️, and our other participating BrewSCRAPS breweries:

AleSmith Brewing Company • Mike Hess Brewing • Barley & Sword Brewing Company • Tarantula Hill Brewing Co. • Pizza Port Brewing Company • Booze Brothers Brewing Co. • CRAFT COAST • Seek B**r Company • Stone Brewing Liberty Station

🍺 FERMENTING CHANGE — Helles L***r | 5% ABV: Clean, crisp + easy drinking, brewed with Great Western malt + German Haas Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops.

📅 TRY IT THIS SATURDAY 9/19
🍻 Capital of Craft B**r Fest
