Drinking beer (environmentally) responsibly:
  • bottles are better than cans if made from new materials
  • cans are better than bottles if they have recycled content
  • cans are better than bottles if they're being shipped over long distances (less than an ounce versus 6 ounces)
  • fuck green bottles; a lot of towns don't even recycle them (fuck heineken anyway)
  • local brews use less energy for transportation
The Best bet:
-TAP! the glasses get washed and reused, the kegs weigh less per ounce, and it tastes way better--if you can afford it.

Don't drink hot water, and don't double dip.
Just--just don't.

I also split 2 six packs today: Boston Ale and Sierra Nevada. So I have 3 of each, which makes me very happy.

The approximate contents of my refrigerator:
New Castle Brown
*Sierra Nevada Pale (I would kill a living human for more of their varieties)
*Schlitz
Bud heavies (10$ twenty packs it had to be done)
UFO
Harpoon Hibernian
*Odd Notion
*Boddington's
Guinness
Roxy Rolles
Sam Brown Ale, *Boston Ale, Scotch Ale, Irish Red
*Smuttynose IPA
Labatt 50

Yes, I am stocked. A trip to the fridge can take upwards of 3 to 5 minutes. Too much deliciousness. Maybe I'll review the next one out if I feel like it.
