Craft beer giving back: Here’s how No-Li Brewhouse helped its community in 2016

Born and raised in Spokane, Wash., No-Li Brewhouse is locally owned and community-minded — and also a decorated craft brewer after taking home the 2016 Washington Large Brewery of the Year, NBWA 2015 National Brewer Partner of the Year awards. And while all of that and its 21 international awards are cool, No-Li is always way more hyped by its local outreach and activism. And so are we.

No-Li contributions in 2016

The craft beer industry is a new economic engine in the local Spokane and Pacific NW economy, and No-Li is leading the way by creating local jobs, increasing tourism, supporting the arts and increasing tax revenues paid into the city. Here are the ways No-Li Brewhouse contributed in 2016:

• Over $25,000 donated to local charities and neighborhoods
• 60+ No-Li co-workers living in and contributing to Spokane
• Full-time employees receive 100% dental plan premium paid, 100% Vision plan premium paid & 50% health plan premium paid.
