Organic beer on the rise

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Jul 20th 2006 @ 2:34PM

Sales of organic beer grew just as fast as sales of organic coffee in 2005-40 percent-according to a recent Associated Press article about organic breweries. Peak Organic Brewing Co. in Burlington, Mass. and Butte Creek Brewing Co. in Chico, Calif. are among the organic breweries mentioned in the piece. Anheuser-Busch is even testing out organic brews, the AP says. Consumers have already shown a willingness to shell out extra for boutique beers, so the price of organic brews shouldn't seem that unusual. For those of you still looking for a trustworthy name, Samuel Smith makes an organic lager and an organic ale.
