The Brinery is a small food and beverage producer based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, specializing in living, raw, unpasteurized fermented foods. It positions itself as a bridge between local farms, restaurants, and consumers by sourcing the majority of its produce from local family farms. The company emphasizes fermentation guided by lactobacillus as a route to digestive health. In 2014 it joined the Washtenaw Food Hub as an anchor tenant, expanding storage capacity and enabling greater local sourcing, while production and community employment grew that year. It has earned several Good Food Awards recognitions, including the 2014 Sea Stag sauerkraut, a 2015 award for a collaborative kimchi with American Spoon, and the 2015 Best Pickle Award from Sandor Katz.
