A great post from GreenUpgrader.
Basically, it breaks down how The New Belgium Brewery is nearly 100% sustainable. A couple highlights:
-- They use 50% less water than the industry average
-- Energy efficient brewing process with equipment that uses 65% less energy
-- Their building is lit with solar tubes
-- Their building is built from reclaimed lumber and their furniture from reclaimed materials
-- They send their spent grain (used in the brewing process) to a local cattle farm for feed.
-- They are able to divert 98% of their waste from the landfill!

They are also planning a community adjacent to their brewery in which they intend to build straw bale and rammed earth housing. (intensely 'natural' building materials)
And they give employees a bike after a year with the company.
Really the list of environmental stewardship that company displays and believes in, is admirable to say the very least.
Great post!
