Because my usual St. Patrick’s Day activity of planting peas is not happening this year, I think I’ll drink a green beer. And no, I don’t mean a Coors Light with green food coloring added. I mean a beer brewed by a company that uses environmentally-responsible practices. Want to join me? Sierra Club published a list of “green” beers in honor of today’s festivities.
Our personal favorite, New Belgium Brewery (check out their web site–it’s a really cool use of Flash and you could spend quite some time playing there, if you’re on a boring conference call or otherwise looking to procrastinate!), made the list, so I think I’ll be enjoying one of the season’s last Frambozen this evening.
What a fun way to support companies that tread lightly on the Earth–drink beer! Cheers

Not sure about the environmental impact of cans vs bottles, but our very own Oskar Blues here in Lyons uses cans made here in Colorado (by Ball Corporation) that contain 50% recycled aluminum. That’s gotta count for something.
Plus, as I discovered on Friday, if you put an Old Chub under a black light, it turns green. No need for food coloring!
