Free beer alert: Two Chattanooga breweries taking part in litter program

Tennessee craft beer fans can earn a free pint by helping enhance the state’s natural beauty.

More than 20 Tennessee craft brewers are participating in a statewide beautification and anti-litter campaign, Pick-Up for a Pint, starting Saturday. The campaign was launched by Nashville-based Jackalope Brewing Co. and its neighbor, Turnip Green Creative Reuse.

The campaign is part of the Pitch In initiative by Tennessee business and industry leaders that brings about participation in local litter pickups that support Tennessee beautification programs.

“We are honored to work with industry leaders to bring Pick-Up for a Pint to breweries statewide and rally support for the state’s successful litter pickup programs that collectively remove more than 11 million tons of trash from Tennessee’s roadsides and green spaces every year,” said Steve Wright, president and head of operations at Jackalope. “It is our every hope that breweries will be inspired to carry this work forward and Tennesseans will recognize the proactive role they must play in combating Tennessee’s litter problem.”

“Pick-Up for a Pint” will occur at various breweries throughout the state.
