Environmental beer anyone? Drinking beer recently went GREEN. Aussie brewer, Cascade, just produced the first Australian carbon neutral beer, aptly named Cascade Green. The larger has a certified "Greenhouse Friendly" label by the Australian's Government's Department for Climate Change.
The carbon offset was achieved by hand picking hops, bottling in lightweight, minimum 50% recycled glass, using biodegradable vegetable inks on the packaging.

Cascade Green Beer - Verdict
This is really a great beer. After trying it last weekend I was surprised at how smooth and easy to drink it was and it tasted even better knowing it was carbon neutral.
I do think, however, it would taste even better if they made the bottle in either a 750ml or 1L version thus cutting back even further on raw materials.
Be green & drink Green.
