Organic Handling in Practice: Giant Jones

Giant Jones Brewing in Madison, WI, is one of only 15 certified organic breweries in the United States. In this case study, brewer and co-owner Jessica Jones walks through how Giant Jones maintains organic certification across every aspect of the operation, from supplier vetting and product profiles to brew logs, lot tracking, trace backs, and annual inspections under USDA National Organic Program standards. She also covers pest control documentation, cleaning and sanitation filing, facilities mapping, and how staying in close communication with their certifier has kept compliance manageable from the start.
