About Us
“My grandmother worked as a Rosie the Riveter during WWII, and her photo has always been inspirational for me. The spirit of the Rosies, the moxie of an underestimated group overcoming a significant challenge through teamwork, is why I created Pivot. Our goal is to apply that spirit to help solve environmental challenges. We use Pivot’s main business, Pivot Brewing Co, as a platform for building communities and promoting environmental change. Our next step is to branch out from the brewery by creating businesses that directly create positive environmental effects.”

Our Community
We are always looking for ways to serve our community better, so contact us if you think Pivot can help with your project or charity.
One way we contribute is by offering our event space for free to non-profits and civic groups. Get in touch with us through our contact form if your group needs a place for meetings or an event.
