Yes I realize I’m providing many of you with a perfect setup here, but read on…this is a good thing for brewers everywhere. Details from the Environmental Leader:
MillerCoors reduced overall water use across its eight major breweries in 2012 to 3.82 barrels of water per barrel of beer, a 6.1 percent decrease from 2011.
This is its lowest water-to-beer ratio to date, according to the brewing company.
It’s also an improvement over the previous year’s reduction: MillerCoors cut the amount of water used in the production of beer by just 1 percent from 2010 to 2011, according to the company’s 2011 sustainability report. In 2010 MillerCoors used 4.11 units of water to make one unit of beer. In 2011 this figure fell to 4.07:1.
