Lakefront Brewery Raises Funds For Australian Brushfire Relief (Milwaukee, WI) –In the wake of the recent Australian bushfires, Lakefront Brewery is spending a week raising funds to contribute to the Resilience Beer project, a craft beer-centric campaign to help impacted communities begin the healing process through regeneration and rehabilitation.
The Resilience campaign first surfaced as a response to the 2018 California Camp Fire, but it has returned with an aim to send support to Australia. Craft breweries around the world are encouraged to either brew a beer or find other ways to support and raise as much funds as possible to help the impacted communities.
In a show of Resilience Lakefront Brewery, will be offering a discounted price on their two flagship brews, Riverwest Stein and IPA at its brewery from Sunday, February 23rd through Saturday, February 29th . Pints of each brew will be $3. Lakefront will be matching that $3 price and donating it entirely to Australian bushfire relief by way of the Resilience fundraiser.
Words To Drink By (Milwaukee, WI) – “What Australia had to endure is a terrible tragedy, we’re glad that the Resilience Program exists to help the craft brewing world band together to provide the much-needed support.” – Lakefront Brewery Founder and President Russ Klisch
The Devil Is In The Details (San Carlos, CA) – Devil’s Canyon Brewing Company has become the first craft brewery in Northern California to utilize carbon capture technology to reduce its CO2 emissions. Larger craft breweries such as Sierra Nevada have equipment in place that can recover CO2, a natural waste product of beer fermentation. But up until recently this technology has proved too costly for the average craft brewer.
Now Devil’s Canyon Brewing has partnered with Earthly Labs to use a plug-and-play carbon capture technology called CiCi, which can enable smaller craft breweries to capture up to 100,000 pounds of CO2 a year and reuse it to carbonate and package beer.
According to Earthly Labs, half of all CO2 emissions come from small sources in businesses, buildings, and homes, representing an untapped opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. And with a growing number of craft breweries across the nation committing to sustainability wherever they can, this new technology is a possible game-changer.
