VANKLEEK HILL — The newest ale by Beau’s Brewing Co. is touted as Canada’s most sustainable beer.
Brewed with green electricity and featuring 100% Ontario hops and 100% Quebec malts, the new brew — dubbed “Local Organic” — is the country’s first beer to be both certified organic and certified carbon neutral.
“Craft beer drinkers no longer have to decide between supporting local vs. organic vs. sustainably brewed. With Local Organic, we envisioned combining all these sustainability attributes in one great-tasting beer,” says Beau’s co-founder and CEO, Steve Beauchesne.
Local Organic will be certified carbon neutral by Carbonzero, a Toronto-based company that since 2006, has led the way in setting the industry standards for measurable and verified emissions reduction offsets in Canada. Beau’s Brewery has partnered with Carbonzero to complete a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) that will measure the beer’s carbon impact.
