Our Mission
Our mission is simple: we’re brewing great beer to make the world a better place.
The Lady Justice Brewing Company was dreamed up by Betsy Lay, Kate Power, and Jen Cuesta during their 2010 service in AmeriCorps - asking the question "why can't we brew beer and give back to our community?" What began as a small operation on a custom-built homebrew system in a tiny storage space has grown into a flourishing taproom and movement.
Today, Lady Justice Brewing is owned by Lay and her wife, Alison Wisneski. It functions as a community-focused brewery dedicating time, space, and money to nonprofits and community partners that support and empower women, girls, and nonbinary people in the state of Colorado. Our giving is focused in two direct ways: through our Community-Supported Beer (CSB) memberships with 100% of profits over cost going directly to CSB nonprofit partners, and through the fabric of the taproom community, highlighting opportunities to volunteer, collaboration brews, and more.
What’s so special about Lady Justice Brewing?
“We have a space where organizations can gather and build awareness. Beer donations go to events that support our mission. The people who support Lady J are not just people who drink our beer, they are also the most wonderful, compassionate, and engaged community. It’s not just donations, it’s people getting involved in issues and organizations, and working to make the world a better place.”
Lady Justice Brewing wrote an open letter to the Brewers Association, resulting in two subsequent meetings, in regards to the 2023 Craft Brewers Conference. These letters are for the public to see and call out response to each meeting.
