Breweries and renewable energy

Mon Apr 13, 2015 4:39 am

There have been breweries that have boasted of using 100% renewable energy for their operations before on the Session. Which ones were they? I definitely remember one brewer talking about running purely off solar panels on their roof, and there might be another example. Anyone remember the name of these breweries? It's for a paper I'm writing.

I'm pretty sure Sierra Nevada is one.
