Abstract

La Somninada is an agroecological cooperative dedicated to ecologically producing craft beer. It was created in 2021, is located in a small town in a rural area of Castellón (Spain), and is a microenterprise. As its name indicates, “somniada” can be translated as “dreamed”, and it is the project of a brewery that was dreamed of its potential for developing territories in a sustainable way. La Somniada brings together aspects shared by other craft brewers, such as a commitment to flavor and focusing on a niche market based on proximity, customer loyalty, and resilience. However, unlike them, its culture is based on the principles of the circular economy, thus providing an excellent example of this sector’s transition towards this growth model. Given the great interest that the circular economy has raised in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations as part of the 2030 Agenda and the link that the brewing industry has with the tourism sector, the study that this chapter makes to the circular economy practices deployed by this firm allows offering exciting lessons for entrepreneurs and different economic agents.
