I personally don't really drink it enough to make my own. I just had not realized that the bigger beer companies were now testing the waters when it comes to organic beer.

one great thing to do is go and get all the ingredients(organic of course) and make your own. Its not only fun to do you can learn a lot about the process and support the organic market.

Peak Organic Beer

I've tried it, it's good. And 100% organic I think.

From their web site... "We believe that using barley and hops that are grown without toxic and persistent pesticides and chemical fertilizers makes our beer tastier and more enjoyable, both for you and for the planet. We've been perfecting our delicious organic recipes for over five years now. Our Pale Ale, Nut Brown Ale and Amber Ale —long time favorites—are the first ones that we've decided to release. We hope you enjoy them! Stay tuned for more releases to come."

Brewing your own beer at home could be a relatively eco-friendly option. Even if you regularly buy beer in cans, you are still saving the transportation miles involved in shopping those cans all over the place. Check out beer-making tutorial over at The Simple Dollar � A Walkthrough and Cost Breakdown of Brewing Your Own Beer.

And one more thing that i want to share with you is you can collect glass beer bottles at home and from friends, or even pick up a few at the recycling center, sterilize them and reuse them over and over, getting much more than just one use from them before they are recycled.

In Ontario there is Mill St. Organic Lager. It's certified organic. I was excited to try it but found it pretty disappointing. It wasn't awful, in fact it tasted like a very ordinary light beer - like Canadian or Bud. Which for me is not worth the calories.

I had some great organic wine at the Wine and Food show a few months back and have since found it in the liquor store. It's a California Cabernet Sauvignon - Bonterra Vineyards. I really enjoyed it, and have bought more since. The label said it's made from organic grapes.

Here's an interview with the founder of Bonterra where he explains the use of the term organic in reference to wines. Organic Bonterra - Mendocino

I think it shows a fair amount of progress when the major beer makers are on the bandwagon. I think that's great.
As for beer and me, it doesn't really agree with me so I leave it alone. But, when you're hoisting your next organic beer, take a swig for me!

Here in Toronto, there is an independent brewery called Mill Street. I tried their organic beer on the weekend and have to say that it was quite enjoyable on a hot day!

Did you say organic BEER? That's a new one for me, but I guess you can buy just about everything organic these days.
