Three Cheers for Green Beer

Ah, Saint Paddy's, the day we celebrate old traditions. Like the bad old days when beer was so colorless and insipid that people dyed it green. Yet now we can celebrate truly green beer. Off the top of my head, a few shout outs to:

1. Full Sail, for using less water per gallon of beer produced than any other brewery;
2. Roots for being Oregon's first organic brewery and sponsoring the Organic Beer Fest;
   
3. New Belgium for pioneering the way on green design and recycled water;
   
4. Lucky Lab and Fort George for solar-powered water heaters;
5. Hopworks for promoting two-wheeled, people-powered transport.

I know this only scratches the surface. We should all be hoisting green beer tonight, so who'd I miss?

Update, 3:30pm. A tweet from Laurelwood:

laurelwood1 Did an interview with KGW channel 8 about "green" beer (organic, that is). On at 5 and 6! Chad #fb
