Bison Organic Beers - 'Tis the Season
The are few things better during the holidays than the delicious taste of seasonal beer. This is a fact and not open to discussion. Thank you for understanding.Bison Brewing Company understands, too. They are the makers of many fine beer products, but their seasonal offering of Gingerbread Ale is especially tasty.
You may be thinking that this is all fine and dandy, but what does Bison Brewing Company have to do with Green Daily? Glad you asked. Bison brews organic beer.
Here's why they do it (from their website):
What drives us to brew organically is the real prize of organic agriculture-barley. Acres and acres of barley. Hops are just lipstick on beer (very gorgeous lipstick, mind you), but the main ingredient, malt, is the thing that really has an impact on sustainable and ecologically sound food production.
Organic products, from field to consumer, are the best way to protect the environment, save energy, and ensure sustainability of American farming. Here is what is important.

The EPA attributes 70% of the pollution in our rivers and streams to conventional farming.
Organic farming nourishes and protects growing plants with SOIL and microorganisms. Contrast that with non organic farming which only uses the soil to hold up the plant, and nourishes the plant with chemical fertilizer, protects the plant with pesticides, and controls weeds with herbicides.
Each acre of organic farmland absorbs and stores over 3,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per year....better soil fertility, fewer greenhouse gases.
Genetically Engineered ingredients are insidiously working their was into almost every foodstuff in the supermarket. What is the long term consequence of this on human health and the environment? Nobody knows. Eating and drinking organically is the only way to avoid GMOs.
Organic farming uses 50% less energy than conventional farming.
Drink your holiday cheer responsibly!
