Sometimes the "Green Gods" look down and wink at you and in the case of my favorite beer/cider, this just happened. I had no idea that my beloved "Woodchuck' is not only a vegan beer, but the company believes in a "Cider-stainability." According to their website...."We make our cider from apples. And as far as we understand, apples come from the earth. So, logically it makes sense for us to want to help the environment."
All of Woodchuck's packaging is 100% recyclable, and they print on all recycled material. They partner with local apple orchards to support the local Vermont economy, and to help cut down on transportation costs and emissions. And get this....they purchase 25% of our power through "CVPS Cow Power", the first manure-to-energy program in the country. They also have a Corporate Partnership with "American Forests" and are happy to announce that to date they have planted 8432 trees in wildfire devastated areas in CA through the American Forests® Global ReLeaf® program. It doesn’t get more natural than helping the environment while making stuff out of apples.
The company joined forces with their electric company in shutting down during peak times, saving enough energy to eliminate the need to build an additional power plant. They've also been able to reduce usage to 1 gallon of water for every 1 gallon of cider produced. Compared to the 6 that a typical brewery would use (some use up to 20).

Do I need any more reasons to buy my favorite beer? I think not!!!!
