Our Values
Cerebral Brewing is and always will be a neighborhood brewery. We exist to share an artistic expression through beer while engaging deeply with our community. Our vision is to create a positive impact in everything we do - using our beer to support causes we care about while working to better ourselves and our local environment. The values below guide us and influence our work on a daily basis.
Accountability
Accountability is central to ensuring quality: from the products we produce to the company culture we strive to foster, all these endeavors are reflected in the experience we aim to provide for our customers. Internally, we use individual autonomy as a tool to empower our passionate team, emphasizing stewardship at all levels and in the process giving everyone the resources needed to to deliver exceptional beer and service. Externally, we seek to create and release only the best expressions of our talents while fostering a welcoming, inclusive environment for anyone who enters any of our spaces.
Communication
Our best ideas are the product of vocal participation and feedback. Open communication sets the tone for creativity, gratitude, clear expectations and transparency. Being able to relate with the perspectives, challenges and experiences of our coworkers and customers leads to a more profound ability to understand others while being understood in return. Our sense of fellowship informs how we work together to overcome hurdles and celebrate successes.
Evolution
We value curiosity, iteration, exploration and experimentation. This means challenging ourselves to continue to adapt and change, empowering our employees to pursue new knowledge and skills, seeking transparency and learning together with both our team and our patrons. We focus on forming new collaborative relationships both within our industry and our community at large. We strive to maintain a learner’s mindset and embrace new opportunities in the pursuit of betterment. We prioritize evolution over expansion.
