Green Brewpub Investment Forum
Already set to be the world’s first co-operatively owned brewpub, Black Star Co-op continues to aim high. We are seeking recognition of our brewpub as a U.S. Green Building Council LEED certified green building and are hosting a Green Brewpub Investment Forum on Saturday, March 6th, from 2-4PM.
Going for LEED certification is certainly the right thing to do, but it adds upfront costs to the brewpub’s construction. That’s why Black Star Co-op is reaching out to the Austin environmental community to help us raise investment capital to achieve LEED certification.
There are only a handful of LEED certified restaurants in the US (even fewer in Texas!), and with investment support from Austin’s environmental community, we can expand that group of exemplary performers with a highly efficient, energy- and water-saving brewpub.
We invite interested people to attend a Green Brewpub Investment Forum on Saturday, March 6 from 2-4 PM. The brewpub site is located in Midtown Commons, a 73-acre transit oriented, mixed-use development set on a remediated brownfield, just across the plaza from the Crestview station of Capital Metro’s Red Line rail service, at Airport and Lamar. The address and a map are available here.
The Green Brewpub Investment Forum is an opportunity to hear about the details of the investment offering, the green building and sustainability efforts, and general background on Black Star Co-op. For more information email invest@blackstar.coop or call (512) 452-BEER. Free and open to the public.
