http://www.wendmag.com/greenery/2009/06/sustainable-craft-brewing/ Interviews and Reviews To Give You The Ongoing Pulse of the Green Economy and Sustainable Design Thu, 19 Jan 2012 11:36:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 http://www.wendmag.com/greenery/2009/06/sustainable-craft-brewing/comment-page-1/#comment-1189 BrewZ Wed, 01 Jul 2009 06:42:26 +0000 http://wendmag.com/greenery/?p=796#comment-1189 Thanks for the article. Don't forget that the big brewers had many of the "environmental" processes in place a lot time ago, like mash filters, CO2 recapturing unit, and disposing of spent grains to farmers. I know of a big brewer that uses their wasted beer for ethanol production for their fleet of cars. I am sure they also want to save money like every other company by using more energy efficient processes. As for whether they give a percentage of their income to environmental programs, like NB, I would be interested to know. Maybe you could write an article about the big boys and what they are doing, if you can get unbiased information from them! Thanks for the article.

For many years we have been able to count on the Lucky Lab to donate a keg of their fine brew to fundraisers for environmental orgs in the Portland area. Give them your support!
