In addition to being outrageously delicious, Coastal Ale has made as splash in the media since its launch in February. With over 14,000,000 media impressions so far, the press has taken note of AVBC's new partnership with Surfrider and commitment to clean water. Hailed as a step forward in sustainable brewing practices, Coastal Ale has been featured in Men's Journal, Gear Patrol, Trend Hunter and more.

The Anderson Valley Brewing Company has teamed up with the Surfrider Foundation, a non-profit environmental organization, to brew a deliciously light-bodied ale that doesn't merely offer a satisfying drinking experience but also supports the important cause of coastal sustainability.

The 'Coastal Ale' is a light-bodied ale that makes use of Citra, Mosaic and Eukuanot hops and relies on pilsner and wheat malts. The brew offers hints of tropical fruit followed by a crisply satisfying finish. This beer comes in at 4.5 percent ABV, but the more important percentage here is the 5 percent of gross profits that the Anderson Valley Brewing Company has committed to donate to the Surfrider Foundation.

The Anderson Valley Brewing Company has already solidified its own eco-friendly credentials thanks to its status as the world's first solar-powered brewery, which is why the brewery's move to partner up with an environmental non-profit organization is a laudable yet unsurprising move.
