Study Suggests That Consumers Are Willing To Pay More For Eco-Friendly Beer (Bloomington, IN) – More and more breweries are investing in practices to save energy and reduce greenhouse gases. And a new study from researchers at Indiana University suggests that it might pay off.
The “Willingness-to-pay for Sustainable Beer” study, which was published by the journal PLOS ONE, “found that a majority of U.S. beer drinkers would be willing to pay more for beer produced with sustainable practices,” according to Science Daily.
Drawing on a survey of over 1,000 self-reported beer drinkers, researchers found that 59 percent of those asked were willing to pay about $1.30 more per six-pack for beer that was brewed using sustainable practices, no matter whether that beer was brewed by Russian River or by Anheuser-Busch.
