If you read Greener Assets, you’ll know that I tend to keep an eye on the green side of the beer brewing business so when I caught wind (yes, pun, sorry) of this little news bit I had to share over here at Daily Tomorrow. Beer is related to healthy living after all. Ok, sort of! But it goes in your body so if you’re drinking drink green brews and not just on St. Patty’s day.
On to the news…
Travelers to the UK will find something wonderfully sustainable brewing…renewable energy-powered pubs! Yes, a toast is in order for the sweeping endeavor to green UK pubs with the installation of solar roofing tiles, and a little extra help from Darrieus-type wind turbines - the coolest things blowing.
TreeHugger published this bubbly news about Solarcentury:
Now we hear that these UK pioneers of clean energy are helping green the greatest of all British institutions, the pub. Working with major pub chain JD Wetherspoons, Solarcentury have provided their solar roofing tiles to the Kettleby Cross, a groundbreaking ‘green pub’ that also features a wind turbine (which looks from the picture to be the long-awaited Quite Revolution vertical axis turbine.
The move to renewable energy will touch JD Wetherspoons 648 pubs. That’s a lot of beer-drinking in the name of sustainability, and I like it. Read the full story at TreeHugger and if you’re traveling to the UK be sure to put a clean energy-powered pub on your lunch out list.
