Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Whether bleeding heart or staunchly red, most people agree there's nothing wrong with going green. Sure, we might be able to argue the science behind global warming, but eco-minded products aren't going to harm anybody (unless you've stumbled upon some crazy conspiracy theory I haven't heard about.) So if some brewers want to join the fray of environmentally friendly foodstuffs, I say relax, grab an organic beer and try what the other 364 days of the year call a green beer.What actually makes a beer "green" is a subject of some debate. Planet Green states, "There are a few ways a beer can be considered green: It can be brewed via environmentally friendly processes, or made with green ingredients like pesticide and chemical-free organic barley and hops." Also important to consider are packaging and shipping. (Planet Green suggest choosing glass and local micro-breweries, respectively.)
Since minimizing fossil fuel usage goes into the eco-equation, drinking regional brews becomes all that more important if you want to be as green as possible. Therefore, Planet Green is suggesting green beers (such as Orlio, pictured here) by region starting with the East Coast. I'm sure other areas are to follow (though they don't say when).
As an unrecommened alternative, if you're seeking a less eco-friendly way of "getting as green as possible," try drinking about 20 of any beer in one sitting (toilet bowl not included).

For smaller breweries my friends and I like, we have Lakefront in Milwaukee, New Glaris new Madison, Point in Stevens Point, Tyranena near Lake Mills, Captial in Madison, Sprecher in Milwaukee, plus withing about 10 miles of my house, I know of atleast 2 smaller brewer/restaurant type shops (and many more if you go into Milwaukee). I do the same with my coffee - regardless of the 'green' garbage, buy local, help keep your money in the local economy.
