Fairfield, CA - A Northern California Anheuser-Busch brewery in Fairfield has recently installed a six acre solar panel array which is now generating about 3% of the brewery's power needs.  Anheuser-Busch also installed a Bio-Energy Recovery System which turns the nutrient rich wastewater from the brewing process into a renewable bio-fuel source which will produce about 15% of the brewery's fuel requirements.   Other sustainable projects implemented at the brewery include a steam recovery system to help heat their boilers which in turn reduces their greenhouse emissions.  Check out the source article of our information. 

This is a case of goliath following in david's eco-footsteps.  Anheuser-Busch made a bid to buy Sierra Nevada Brewery back in the late 1990's I believe.  Sierra Nevada thwarted the beer-goliath and continued on the righteous path of sustainability.  Check out Reggies' "Green For Beer" post for great information on Sierra Nevada's sustainability efforts.  Sierra Nevada has been ahead of the curve for some time now.  Goliath is clearly following David and this is the kind of business competition our nation needs.
