Abstract :
There´s little more summery than a cool pint of ale or a cold lager. New technology in brewing ensures that it doesn´t come at the expense of the environment, says Bryan Betts. Like most industries, brewing has come under pressure to improve its sustainability and, in particular, its use of water; energy and transportation. Brewers of all sizes have responded by turning to technologies both old and new, as they re-engineer their processes to save cost and cut wastage.
