We believe that every business should be active in building a stronger community. That's why at Rapscallion we pride ourselves not only on the great beer we make inside the brewery, but also the great work we do with community organizations outside of the brewery.

 

Below are a few of the organizations we've been involved with. If you're involved with a non-profit, arts, or community enrichment organization and have an upcoming event or special need, please feel free to contact us at any time!

 

10% Shift - The 10% Shift is a grassroots movement of citizens, businesses, government agencies and nonprofits working to shift 10% or more of our annual budget from non-local businesses to locally owned and independent businesses. This modest but important change will keep a larger share of dollars in our region, stimulate the local multiplier, create thousands of new jobs, and spur a fundamental transformation in North American local economies.
