Craft breweries across the Chesapeake and coastal bays region know that clean water is essential for making good beer. That is why they partner with Waterkeepers and other water advocates to support activities and initiatives to keep our local waterways clean — not only for good beer, but for all to enjoy and for the protection of the health of our communities.
