What is Infinite Ingredient?

Infinite Ingredient is a non-profit whose mission is to actively support the mental and physical well-being of individuals working in the craft beverage industry through outreach, education, and access to resources.

Infinite Ingredient is here to help make the infinite pursuit of wellness possible, one ingredient at a time.

Once initial funding goals are met, Infinite Ingredient will be able to provide access to an Employee Assistance Program to all who work in the craft brewing industry in the US, and their family members.

What is an Employee Assistance Program?

An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a well of resources that exist in order to help employees in navigating and resolving work/life issues. Traditionally they are offered through an employer as a benefit.

Infinite Ingredient’s EAP is different. Instead of having to check with your employer to find out if you are covered, all you have to do is be an employee at a craft brewery that produces less than 6 million barrels per year and you can access the resources. As funding is secured we’ll be able to offer access to resources on a state-by-state basis.*

What are those resources? We’re glad you asked!

Why Infinite Ingredient?

Infinite Ingredient is a non-profit organization focused on the essential and pivotal ingredient missing in craft beer today--well-being resources and support. Modern beer needs modern recipes. We’re not talking lactose or fruit. We’re talking mental and physical well-being services being available for those who are responsible for creating the beers that we love—from adjunct laden experiments to the crispest and cleanest lagers. 

The exponential growth of the craft beer industry has uncovered a foundation that needs serious tending to. From racism and sexism, to queer erasure, homophobia and a white washed history, craft beer has the opportunity and fundamental need to do better. 

We believe that in order to do better one must be able to take care of themselves wholly, so they can show up and do the work involved in crafting the inclusive and limitless beer industry of the future. 

Micro-aggressions add up. Being unable to show up fully as yourself because you don’t think--you know you won't be accepted as you are, adds up. Having to navigate an abusive or unhealthy work environment adds up. Infinite Ingredient believes that it is through access to mental and physical health resources, opportunities through education, and partnership with other non-profits that we can begin to heal ourselves and our industry—building a future that is stronger, and more inclusive than ever.
