It's not just for St. Paddy's Day anymore

As Jim Motavalli reports in E Magazine (Jan./Feb. 2002), the past decade has seen dramatic growth in environmentally conscious brewing. The trend has been most evident in the rising number of organic beers on the market, but can also be seen in the number of breweries that are shifting to a more eco-friendly manufacturing process.

Organic beer (brewed with organic hops, malts, barleys, and natural yeast) is enjoying a remarkable rise in popularity, with such brands as Wolaver's Pale Ale and Fish Tale Organic Amber garnering high praise from beer critics and solid sales in regional markets. "The future of organic beer is bright," says Crayne Horton of Fish Brewing Company, which brews the Fish Tale brand in Olympia, Washington. "We're converting more and more people over to it."
