The Double Mountain Program: Since 2013, our unique half liter
bottles are made of thick walled glass, allowing them to be cleaned and reused
many times. Empty bottles can be returned to the brewery, where they are
cleaned, sanitized and refilled with beer. Reusable bottles are used across the
globe as the most environmentally sustainable packaging for beverages. According
to the 2012 Beverage Industry Environmental Round Table Report the carbon
footprint of manufacturing, recycling and distribution of multiple use
refillable glass bottles use 4 times less carbon than recycled (one-way) glass and
7 times less carbon than aluminum cans.
“We are excited to be a part of this
bold environmentally sustainable program. Oregon is the perfect place to expand
our current refillable bottle system and bring in more breweries to do the
right thing.” Matt Swihart, Brewmaster
Thursday March 23rd 2017: In an ongoing effort to continue and expand our reusable bottle
program, we have teamed up with Oregon
Beverage Recycling Cooperative (OBRC) to collect Double Mountain bottles.
Our combined efforts will increase collection capabilities by having several bottle
drop redemption centers in addition to Double Mountain Brewery
& Taproom locations, growing the return percentage of our bottles and
softening the environmental impact. “Beer enthusiasts in Oregon know and care
about the environment. Double Mountain and OBRC are embracing a
reusable/refillable beer bottle that is the most sustainable way to drink great
craft beer,” says Master Brewer Matt Swihart
