Below are brew experts who share with readers what they have evaluated as the most environmentally friendly brews:
Christina Perozzi and Hallie Beaune are beer connoisseurs who recommend Sierra Nevada's Estate Homegrown Ale. Sierra Nevada (www.sierranevada.com) is a family-owned microbrewery that has placed solar panels on production to divert leftover water to an on-site water treatment facility so that the water can be reused, this minimizes waste.
Rich Tucciarone is brewmaster at Hawaii's Kona Brewing Company, which uses solar power and redesigned its bottles to weigh 11 percent less. A lighter bottle translates to less fuel used during transportation to retail. This beer company employs a sustainability coordinator, and produces the certified-organic Oceanic Organic Saison. Who ever thought that the beer industry could offer green jobs?
Tucciarone also recommends Laurelwood Public House and Brewery (www.laurelwoodbrewpub.com) in Portland, Oregon. This beer is certified organic, and Laurelwood's pubs focus on serving mostly local products. After consumption, the compost all their food waste.
