It takes a lot of energy to brew craft beer and get it to you. At Saucy, we are working hard to restore the quality of our environment for the next generation so that craft beer can be enjoyed for many years to come.
For every order placed at Saucy Brew Works online store, a mangrove tree is planted in Madagascar to offset carbon emissions from packaging production and shipping of online orders. To continue our effort inside of our brewpubs and brewery, we’ve launched a round-up program. All guests can round up to the nearest dollar at checkout whether in-person or online for carryout orders. The total will be used to plant trees at the end of each month. And if you’re not done there, you can also purchase additional trees for $1 when ordering from any Saucy location. Through this program addition, we begin our journey towards carbon neutrality, offsetting our emissions from transporting our beer regionally, and the energy used to run our brewpubs and breweries.
We hope you’ll join us on our mission of sustainability and carbon offset by choosing to plant a tree yourself (available at all checkouts).
MAKE YOUR IMPACT
SHOP WITHOUT ECO-GUILT
The key benefit of reforestation is that trees are extremely efficient at carbon sequestration. Trees, especially Mangroves, are one of the most effective tools in the fight against greenhouse gases.
By dining and shopping with Saucy Brew Works, you become a part of the “Place an Order, Plant a Tree” initiative. Together, we can reach our goal of offsetting carbon emissions by 100% from order shipment, distribution and brewery energy usage.

OUR IMPACT
PLANT WITH PURPOSE
Mangroves, the specific type of tree we plant, are one of the most effective and economic methods of offsetting carbon emissions. They convert carbon dioxide into plant matter, holding this material for the life of the tree and beyond.
CLEAN OUR ATMOSPHERE
Each Mangrove tree planted in Madagascar absorbs nearly 680 pounds of CO2 from the environment over the tree’s lifetime, considered to be up to 25+ years. Just 10 trees planted represent 6,800 lbs of CO2 offset!
HELP PROVIDE JOBS
Tree planting also benefits the local villagers, living in extreme poverty. For every 100 trees planted together with customers, one workday is created for someone in need – generally for villagers who live near the areas the trees are planted.

We take pride in complete transparency as we work towards 100% carbon emission offsets on all shipments, brewpub utilities and distribution.
We plant a tree for every sale made at https://shop.saucybrewworks.com.
You can also select to purchase another tree yourself at checkout for $0.65.
When ordering at any Saucy Brew Works location for dine-in or carryout, all guests have the option to round-up to the nearest dollar. There is another option to purchase additional trees for $1 both online and in-person.
We plant as many trees as possible with the amount raised at the end of each month.
Trees will be planted within 14-30 days after the end of the month. Planting cycles vary based on weather conditions and the number of trees being planted.
In Madagascar, the mangroves forests are planted directly from propagules that are very durable in the conditions mangroves live which helps with survivability.
In Madagascar, the land is almost always owned by the tribal community, but we also work within federally owned national forests.
Mangrove Restoration Systems: In Madagascar, the initial survival rate at our mangrove restoration projects exceeds 80%. However, between years three and five the young mangrove trees begin to produce their own propagules (baby mangrove trees) resulting in h5 proliferation of natural regeneration. Multiple studies demonstrate the initial survival rate combined with natural regeneration results in a luxuriant impact ranging between 150 and 500 percent.
Our planting team leaders have developed reliable systems which count and sort the number of seedlings produced in the nurseries and or mangrove propagules collected. We then plant the seedlings and prorogues within designated sites. A percentage of seedling and propagule mortality is of course inevitable. What we have discovered is mortality becomes irrelevant as natural regeneration begins to occur and begins to multiply impact. At our mangrove sites, natural regeneration typically exceeds 200% of the original number planted. Nature finds a way whenever humans cooperate.
