HEADLANDS BREWING CO JOINS 1% FOR THE PLANET AND CELEBRATES WITH AN EARTH DAY EVENT

The award-winning craft brewery in Lafayette will host an Earth Day event on 4/22 benefitting East Bay Regional Parks Foundation. 

LAFAYETTE, Calif., April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Headlands Brewing Co, a Lafayette, CA brewery, is proud to announce that it has joined 1% for the Planet, pledging 1% of all sales to support nonprofit organizations focused on the environment. In celebration, they will be hosting an event at Headlands' Brewery and Beer Garden in Lafayette, CA in partnership with East Bay Regional Parks Foundation on Earth Day, April 22.

"Headlands Brewing was built on adventure and passion for the outdoors, and since day 1 we've worked with a number of amazing partners such as the East Bay Regional Parks Foundation, Bay Area Ridge Trail, and others who are focused on helping preserve and protect our environment," said Austin Sharp, Chief Executive Officer at Headlands Brewing Co. "Formalizing our commitment to donate our money, minds and energy to 1% for the Planet is one of the easier decisions we've made". 

"Currently, only 3% of total philanthropy goes to the environment, and only 5% of that comes from businesses. The planet needs a bigger support than this, and our growing network of business members is doing its valuable part to increase giving and support on-the-ground outcomes. We're excited to welcome Headlands Brewing to our global movement," says Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet.

By contributing 1% of their annual sales, thousands of 1% for the Planet members have raised over $300 million to support approved environmental nonprofits around the globe. Nonprofits are approved based on referrals, track record and environmental focus. Thousands of nonprofits worldwide are currently approved.

During the Earth Day event on April 22, Headlands will be launching their Trailblazer Series beer, Briones Hazy IPA, in partnership with the Regional Parks Foundation. $1 for every 4-pack of Briones sold, at the taproom and in stores around the Bay Area, will be donated to the foundation. They will also be donating 10% of all taproom sales for the day to the foundation. It will be a fun day of festivities including live music by local band Swamp Cake from 3-6pm, a pop up from a local environmentally-friendly shop Resourcefill, and smash burgers on the outdoor grill.
