Beer Reduces Greenhouse Gases

San Francisco Brew Pub Goes Green
“San Francisco (KCBS) — One San Francisco brewery went “green” for St. Patrick’s Day Tuesday and we don’t mean green beer.”
“Shaun O’Sullivan, co-owner and brewmaster at 21st Amendment Brewery, says the beer may not have been green, but the container was. He put two of his craft beers in a can, in part to help save the environment.”
