Drink to the environment
Ready to feel a little more "green" while enjoying a pint? Well, the Gipsy Hill Brewery in London has created two beers that it claims are "carbon negative" without the use of offsets.
The beers are made with barley grown via regenerative farming, a practice which "improves soil health, reduces erosion and sequesters carbon." The brewery then combines the barley with hop material that's been removed from a previous batch; in a typical brewing process, these recaptured hops would be thrown away. Thus, the beer reportedly removes more greenhouse gases from the atmosphere than it produces.
"Great beer should be guilt-free, and our new Trail Pale and Swell Lager mean that for the first time, our drinkers can enjoy a pint safe in the knowledge it's actively improving the environment and helping solve our climate crisis," Sam McMeeken, the brewery’s co-founder, said.
