Brewer to reduce carbon footprint
The Thirsty Beagle is a man of many interests, and preserving the Earth for my son is one of those interests. (I know, I know, pretty cheesy, but even the best beer drinkers have a few side projects on the go) So anyway, I thought this article was quite interesting. SABMiller says it will cut emissions on beer production in half by 2020, all the while producing even more beer. The company says it can do it by taking advantage of renewable energy, like rice husks in India, and using a lighter glass bottle that will last twice as long as today’s standard bottles.

Nick,
Check out Sierra Nevada in Chico, CA. The feed the spent grain to cattle in order to collect the methane in their flatus that is converted to energy to power the brewery!
