Impact Report for the Year of 2022

We are excited to publicly release our Impact Report for the year of 2022. This report measures our environmental footprint, ways we reduce our impact, employment practices, community stewardship, causes we support, and goals for 2023.

2022 brought us a lot to be proud of at Montanya Distillers. We were finally able to launch our beautiful expanded Distillery after more than a year and a half a very hard work and many struggles and hurdles cleared.

Not only did we encounter supply chain challenges, but so many people said the sustainability measures I was committed to couldn’t work. They said we would have to chill with glycol. We don’t. They said we would have to waste a lot of water. We don’t. They said we couldn’t safely store our barrels of alcohol the way we wanted to. We figured it out.

At every turn, when we have encountered a hurdle, we have managed to find innovative ways to overcome these hurdles that still go deep on our environmental and social commitments.

In our new facilities, we have had an opportunity to take a stand on so many of the things we believe in. We host Gay Coffee every week to provide a safe place for our gay community to gather. We sponsor drag shows. We biodigest our biowaste on site. We host Banned Book fairs and Juneteenth events. We bring JEDI training to our staff on a regular basis. And so much more.

It would’ve been easy during the last three years to turn our backs on our commitments to using business as a force for good. But instead we have committed more deeply.

I am so proud of our staff and our partnerships for the ways in which we have collaborated to bring our mission to life.

We hope 2023 will be even stronger as we have a chance to settle into routines, perfect our processes, and get our feet under us for a period with less radical change and more consistency.
