Maine brewery cuts costs with monitoring system, 'free air'
It’s not surprising that a brewery named for a river located in the untrammeled wilds of northern Maine would take its responsibilities to nature seriously. Allagash Brewing Company, located in Portland, ME, ranks being an engaged member of the community and a responsible steward of the environment right up there with “hand crafting the best Belgian-inspired beers in the world.”
Among the steps the brewery has taken to reduce its carbon footprint is the purchase of renewable energy credits that offset more than 90% of the electricity used (and emissions produced) by brewery operations.
