Metazoa Brewing Co. was founded in 2016 by Dave Worthington who was a homebrewer, animal-lover, and overall craft-beer enthusiast. Dave and his family had always enjoyed donating to animal charities and fostering rescued animals, but as Dave began dreaming of owning a brewery, he realized that he wanted to offer something even more special – so Metazoa was born. Since that day, Dave has continued to build the company around a promise to donate five percent of all company profits to unique animal charities in Indiana and beyond.

From Mug Club members and frequent visitors of the pet-friendly taproom to local retailers and casual supporters who order Metazoa beer at local watering holes, the Metazoa community is ever-growing as is their support of animals. By the end of 2019, Metazoa’s donations to animal welfare organizations since their grand opening in 2016 will total over $100,000 and Dave’s dream of building a place where the community can “drink beer to help animals” has become a full-fledged reality.
