North Coast Brewing Company Proudly Announces B Corp Recertification / Pacific Magic IPA / Old Stock Ale 2022 / Old Stock Ale 2025 / Old Stock Ale 2026

FORT BRAGG, CA., (May 6, 2021) – North Coast Brewing Company, an independent American craft brewery producing award-winning beers since 1988, is proud to report it has successfully completed the rigorous B Corp recertification process as administered by B Lab. The recertification “B Impact Assessment” measures the Company’s entire social and environmental performance, evaluating how NCBC’s operations and business model impact our workers, community, environment and customers.
Nestled between the rugged coastline of the Pacific Ocean and the Redwood forest, NCBC has been a trailblazer in caring for the environment, in supporting various philanthropic pursuits such as music education, marine mammal research, local community non-profits, and most recently by providing a substantial endowment to U.C. Davis to promote diversity in the brewing industry.
“Our world changed a lot last year, and none of us could have predicted that 2020 would be the year a novel coronavirus would change the way everyone does business.  However, our team adapted to the new normal and we continued to reduce our footprint operating our Platinum TRUE Zero Waste brewery.  We care about the environment, our community, the safety of our customers, employees, and we are honored once again to meet and exceed the rigorous standards required to recertify as a B Corp.  The values of our founders continue to shape what we do today, and the entire NCBC team has had a hand in furthering that legacy.”
– Jeffrey Ottoboni, CEO, NCBC.

What is a B Corp?

“Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.” – Bcorpopration.net.
In short – using business as a force for good.
What does this tell you about us?
It tells you we are not just going through the motions. We believe in our people, our community and our planet as well as profit, and have to periodically recertify – and be graded – about how well we are doing in all these aspects.
What does this mean to you?
It means when you support us, you are supporting the goals of the next generation of business.  Supporting our people and our community is important to us, and we strive to conduct ourselves in an ecologically sustainable manner.  B Corp certification is your assurance that we actually walk our talk.

We want to share the positive things we do.  Our B Corp status does a lot of the talking for us.  Cheers!
