Coming Soon: Green Beer, Year-Round
With beer prices up 6.6 percent over last year due to soaring fuel and grain prices, Anheuser-Busch is working on an environmentally (and public relations) friendly idea for containing costs.
It plans to use methane gas produced by nearby landfill to fuel operations at its Houston brewery.
A pipeline from the landfill, which is operated by Allied Waste, and the brewery, which produces 372 million gallons of beer per year, is scheduled to be completed later this year.
Anheuser-Busch said it intends to have 11 of its 12 U.S. breweries using some form of renewable energy within the next two years, a plan unaffected by the brewer's pending takeover by Belgian beer behemoth InBev.
And you thought you could only get green beer on St. Patrick's Day.
