[...] Environmentally sustainable life and work can be tough for most of us, and it’s even more difficult for those in isolated locations like Alaska. That hasn’t stopped the Alaskan Brewing Company from taking extra steps for the benefit of the planet. Due to their remote location and lack of natural resources, many basic ingredients and supplies must be shipped long distances. Essential items such as heavy canisters of CO2 to artificially carbonate their beer must endure a long and treacherous journey. The brewers found themselves constantly having tons of CO2 canisters shipped 900 miles from Seattle to their facility in Juneau. The cost of this operation and the gas required for it was not sustainable, both for their pocketbooks and their carbon footprint. Instead, the brewery developed a unique system to recapture and reuse the CO2 that is naturally produced in the brewing process. [...]
