You know the saying: Save the Earth; it’s the only planet with beer!  However, from the amount of water used in the brewing process to the packaging, to transporting ingredients and product, unfortunately brewing is not the most sustainable industry.  But there are some creative ways breweries are working around or offsetting these issues.   In honour of Earth Day, we checked in with a few Ontario breweries doing their part to make craft beer a little more green.    Big thanks to Jenn at Beau’s, Stephen and Teddy at Karbon Brewing, Kyle and Kristen at Half Hours on Earth and Lori, Max, Micheline, Lindsay and Buffy at Avling for chatting with us!
