Triple Bottom Brewing

What Triple Bottom Brewing does

Triple Bottom Brewing Company is a privately held, woman-owned craft brewery headquartered at 915 Spring Garden Street in Philadelphia's Spring Arts district, operating since summer 2019 on a 10-barrel brewing system imported from British Columbia. The company produces a range of craft beers (pilsners, stouts, IPAs, and sessionable ales) brewed by co-founder Kyle Carney, and sells them primarily through direct-to-consumer channels: its single on-site taproom, six regional Philadelphia farmers markets (Clark Park, Dickinson Square, Chestnut Hill, Headhouse Square, Swarthmore, East Passyunk), and private event hosting for groups of 20-140 people alongside mobile bar services for off-site events. Pricing is transactional, with custom event packages, gift cards sold via Square, and unit-priced sponsorship tiers supporting the Future of Service program.

The business is structured around a certified B Corporation "triple bottom line" framework (beer, people, planet) and operates as a fair chance employer. In 2024, the company launched the Future of Service Apprenticeship Program, a paid 16-week leadership development and job training program for people impacted by the justice system or housing insecurity, with 10-12 apprentices per cohort. The program is funded by the Barra Foundation and Patricia Kind Family Foundation as founding funders, with the Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia providing 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsorship and curriculum co-design support from the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. Apprentices earn $15/hour for 24 hours/week and obtain hospitality certifications (ServSafe, Responsible Alcohol Management, OSHA10, CPR).

The go-to-market motion is community-led and event-driven: the company builds brand and customer acquisition through a dense calendar of drag brunches, supper clubs with partner chefs, quizzo nights, live music, workshops, and farmers markets, supplemented by Instagram, an email newsletter, and earned media (Forbes, Fortune, Imbibe 75 2020, Billy Penn, NBC Philadelphia, Inquirer). The company maintains referral partnerships with Project HOME, Mural Arts Restorative Justice Program, and Youth Sentencing & Reentry Project for fair-chance hiring, and sustainability partnerships with Bennett Compost, Bottle Underground, PAR Recycle Works, and Rabbit Recycling for waste diversion. The company reports an 11-50 employee headcount range, no disclosed revenue, and no institutional funding rounds beyond an early crowdfunding campaign.

• Second District Brewing: Philadelphia-based craft brewery operating a taproom and serving the local market. Directly comparable as a small-scale Philly craft peer with overlapping customer base.
• Tired Hands Brewing Company: Pennsylvania craft brewery built around a brewpub/taproom experience with a strong experimental/flagship lineup. Highly comparable brewpub model, mid-Atlantic geography, and DTC-heavy go-to-market.
