Giving Back
Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company strongly believes in supporting the various charitable, arts and cultural organizations that make our communities special. As Mississippi's Brewery, we try our best to embrace the very virtues that characterize our home as the "Hospitality State."

Environmental Policy
Lazy Magnolia Brewing Company is dedicated to the environment. Our business model and practice encourages the fair, equitable and balanced use of all brewing materials, resources and goods. We strive to incorporate this cooperative, environmentally friendly spirit to the best of our ability.
Side Streaming
The best way to save the environment is to be as efficient as possible. It makes good sense for us and it makes good sense for the environment. The principal way that we meet this goal is through a process we call side-streaming. Instead of letting it be a waste stream turn it into something that other people want.
Spent Grains
At the end of each brewing day our spent grains are side-streamed as feed for a local hog farmer.
Spent Yeast
The brewery is a yeast making machine. We create an amazing amount of yeast everyday that we cannot use. The spent yeast is very high in B-vitamins and is quite nutritious. We give it to a local cattle farmer that mixes it into their feed.
Spent Beer
Yes, it breaks our heart as well. But occasionally we end up with beer that isn't up to our standards, and we get a steady stream of old kegs with some beer in them. Another source of spent beer is from our bottling line. A little beer shakes out of every bottle as we fill them up, just a couple of mils from every bottle adds up when you package tens of thousands of bottles. We take those sources of beer and then use them in the community for watering fields and some of it ends up at other waste treatment plants where the liquid is used to help maintain the health of the underutilized systems.
Recycling
Used Cardboard
We try to avoid waste where we can, and where we can't we recycle. Our used cardboard goes to a collection center in Hancock County.
