From hops to Hefeweizen, Oregon’s sustainable brewing supply chain

The Oregon beer industry features sustainable practices throughout the beer-making process with the help of Energy Trust of Oregon. See first-hand the sustainable brewing cycle with this two-minute video, created in collaboration with Climate Solutions. The cycle starts with energy-efficient irrigation practices and solar energy used to grow the hops at Goschie Farms. Next, Worthy Brewing integrates process efficiency practices and a rooftop solar array at its recently constructed, high-efficiency restaurant and brewhouse. For the beer not consumed on-site, Columbia Distributing completes the cycle with high-efficiency lighting and lighting controls at its distribution warehouse.
