We don't eat processed or fast food 24/7 and unlike him, most Aussies don't wait until they are 19 years old before eating fresh vegetables for the first time. OMG!

]]> Comment on The green beer that isn’t and the goat that is by stickyfingers http://foodandwinedaily.com/2008/03/25/the-green-beer-that-isnt-and-the-goat-that-is/comment-page-1/#comment-2 stickyfingers Tue, 01 Apr 2008 01:53:32 +0000 http://foodandwinedaily.com/?p=30#comment-2 I'd like to preface this with the disclaimer that I have been involved with the ad agency promoting Cascade Green. The claim that Fosters are making is that this is a 100% carbon offset beer. Mountain Goat don't claim this about their microbrews. They have stated that they are aiming to lighten their brewery's carbon footprint, which isone of the reasons why they deserve respect. However as they buy hops they cannot influence the carbon offset involved in harvesting etc. Cascade is also not claiming to be an organic beer, just locally sourced. Cascade: 'From the picking of the hops through to the recycling of the bottle, Cascade claims 100% of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the process of producing Cascade Green are offset, meaning the net impact of emissions for the beer is zero.' 'The beer has achieved Australian Government Greenhouse Friendly certification.' 'Cascade has been driving environmental improvements for the past 10 years and has won a number of environmental awards, including three Tasmanian Awards for Environmental Excellence and the Cleaner Business Challenge Award 2003. In the past six years, the brewery claims to have cut greenhouse gas emissions by 16% and reduced water usage by 30% per unit of production.' I much prefer the taste of the Goat - as you know - but this drop isn't bad either. I’d like to preface this with the disclaimer that I have been involved with the ad agency promoting Cascade Green.

Cascade:

claims 100% of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the process of
producing Cascade Green are offset, meaning the net impact of emissions for the beer is zero.’

‘The beer has achieved Australian Government Greenhouse Friendly certification.’
