What do you know about the company that brews your beer? According to The Better World Shopping Guide, New Belgium and Sierra Nevada get grades of A. New Belgium is a 100% wind powered brewery that conserves 50% more water vs. the average brewery. It is an employee-owned business and has given $1.6 million to the local community.
On the contrary, Miller, which is part of Altria (Philip Morris), the #2 worst company on Earth, is currently the target of two major boycotts and has spent over $100 million on lobbyists. It is also on Multinational Monitor's Worst Corporation List for 5 years.
Green Tip:
Locally Brewed Beer
When purchasing your beverages this Memorial Day Weekend, support your local micro brewery. Now only will you be buying local and supporting your local community, but also, since the beer has less of a distance to travel, there are also reduced carbon emissions.
It's easy to find a local brewery near you. Just go to http://www.brewpubzone.com.
