Yeah Long Trail

From NPR: "Long-Trail Brewing Co. in Vermont has signed up for something the dairy state has plenty of: cow power. A utility in Vermont is offering — for just a few cents more — power derived from the methane gas given off by the manure on dairy farms. The brewery, in turn, will contribute mash, a byproduct of brewing, to feed the cows."

Not that Owen reads this but I thought he might be interested since we stopped there when up to snowboard. Their Belgian White is delicious, by the way.

They must have heard the news about climate change hurting beer brewing!

you don't think Owen would be interested because he lets off a lot of methane? we could all start buying a lot of beans and start our own power company. let's talk about it next house dinner. i'll make chili.
