There’s a greener way of doing things, and if you’re drinking a beer, you could be helping to clean up the earth. Sure, the crops that go into making beer, the water added, the electricity used during the process, the energy used to make the glass bottle, the labeling and capping of said bottle, and the hauling of your six-pack to your local store, where you brought it home, may all have a negative impact on the environment, but things are getting greener!
Now, the stuff left over from making beer can be turned into methane, which can be used to power the brewery. They’ve got just such equipment at the Magic Hate brewery in South Burlington, Vermont (holla!), and apparently other places have them, too. So the next time some teetotaler harasses you for drinking too much beer, just tell them you’re helping save the Earth more than they are.
