What Are We Drinking About- Celebrating Earth Day & The 5yr anniversary of the artist Prince's Passing.

What Are We Drinking About? - Jodi and Erik Coleman

Welcome to “What Are We Drinking About”!! This show is unique and EXTRA special. We’re dedicating part to Earth Day - showcasing 3 breweries that are very earth-friendly/centric. The 2nd half in honor of the 5 anniversary of Prince’s death. Jodi is a passionate Prince fan and we thought it the right thing to do to pay our respects via some purpled themed & named beers!

Earth Day Beers:

These brewing companies are all known to be “Earth Friendly” and work to help play their part in taking care of Mother Earth…so we’re tipping our hats to them!

Sierra Nevada Brewing- Wanderland: ABV 7.5 | IBUs 25

Our brand new seasonal, packed with orchard-fresh flavor, is a Kolsch-style Nectarine Ale whose inspiration came from overseas. The idea for Wanderland began in late 2019 when our friends from the United Kingdom paid us a visit and helped collaborate on the beer.

One of the largest craft breweries in the country, Sierra Nevada is well known for its iconic Pale Ale. It should also be known for its love of the Earth. That’s because the Chico, California-based brewery gets all of its energy from solar power.

Anderson Valley Brewing Company- Briney Melon Gose: ABV 4.2% | IBUs 12

Born from our passion for experimentation, our Briney Melon Gose boasts a thirst-quenching tartness that is perfectly balanced by subtle watermelon flavors and aromas. Gentle additions of sea salt create a refreshing harmony between the acidity and fruity sweetness leading to the clean, dry finish

Hard to miss with their mascot the “beer” (a bear with deer antlers) Anderson Valley is committed to reusing water to help the California drought, donating healthy grains to local livestock, running on 40% solar power, and using recycled cans.

Great Lakes Brewing Company- Mexican Lager: ABV 5.4% | IBUs 20

This golden Mexican-Style Lager, brewed with real lime peel and purée and flaked corn for a crisp and refreshing getaway.

From the beginning, we've aspired to craft our beloved and award-winning beers in a socially and environmentally responsible way. We know that we are not perfect, but through zero-waste initiatives, Water Stewardship, and Local Farming we strive to do the best we can.
