Be Chaim! is that expression that we at L’Chaim Brewery use on our labels to promote dignity and respect for mental health and all the natural stages that obtaining this ideal state comprises.

of the Hebrew word, חיים.

Through volunteer and work experiences the Renegade Brewmasters have spent many thousands of hours engaging with persons who live with mental disability. As well, a great deal of that time has been invested in pursuing and advocating Justice because we have witnessed the discrimination and we have witnessed the abuse. We have made a difference in the lives of too few in comparison to the many more for whom an outcry is necessary.

The Renegade Brewmasters engage in nature-related activities to enhance the life of the individual, the family, and the community. Thus, for the honor of Life, and that measure of mental and physical health that makes it worth living, the Renegade Brewmasters seek to share transformative farming experiences with people who have lived through Florida’s State mental hospitals.

Our practical programs are structured to help individuals build upon their capacities and upon their capabilities, sufficient to create doorways into which sustainable career and life enhancing opportunities within or without agriculture may be established. Simultaneously, through these interactions, communities, as well, learn to build upon their own capacities and capabilities toward the encouragement and assistance of persons within their population who are living with mental disability.
Be Chaim!
to Be Chaim, is to Be Life!
