Environmental Awareness

Over the past several decades American brewers have been recognized for their commitment to protecting and improving our environment. Through conserving energy and water, reusing byproducts and waste, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and establishing comprehensive recycling programs the brewing industry has asserted itself as a leading environmental steward.

Many brewer’s have constructed water treatment facilities to reduce the volume of water used in brewing. They have also taken advantage of environmentally sound energy sources such as wind and solar power. Bio-gas, a byproduct of brewing processes, is also used by many brewers to replace fossil fuel usage. Brewer’s also emphasize environmental awareness through their efforts to promote educational and conservational programs. Please return next month to view our new environmental brochure.
