I'll drink to that - whalesong - 11-12-2011 We could use our brewery here to generate power like they do. Beer and health care may sound like an odd mix. In one case however, the two have formed an unlikely partnership to get creative with renewable energy. City Brewery in La Crosse, Wisconsin is using all of its biogas byproduct from the brewing process to create three million kilowatt hours per year of electricity by employing a capturing, cleaning and burning process through an engine called a jenbacher. Down the road from the brewery is Gundersen Lutheran Health System which is credited for the electricity produced by City Brewery. And while this only accounts for 10-13 percent of their total needs, it means they are on their way to meeting complete energy independence by 2014. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/12/hospital-brewery-partnership_n_1088350.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009 RE: I'll drink to that - dmbwest - 11-12-2011 Cool info ... For sure I would 'do my part' to help ... Might even be able to swallow Mehana then. aloha, pog RE: I'll drink to that - Kelena - 11-12-2011 I love Mehana and would swallow it as presented, with or without an additional power-boosting aspect. RE: I'll drink to that - HawaiiTedd - 11-13-2011 This is great. I used to live near La Crosse, and very familiar with the area. Good to see that they are doing this. It is a large brewery compared to anything here in Hawaii though, so I wonder if even possible at Mehana/Hawaii Nui. By the way...the IPA from Mehana is a winner. You have to get it at the brewery shop by the growler, and it is often sold out, but worth it when they have it. I consider myself an IPA afficionado...and love this one. --- Life is the only thing worth living for...

RE: I'll drink to that - dmbwest - 11-18-2011 Dang it Ted, I blame you for making me go down and mistakenly purchasing Mauna Kea Pale Ale. You also owe me two dollars 'cause it was not 20% off ! One sip and I knew ... Ugh, this is not it. Should have read label better :o : O : 0 : ) The IPA from Stone is my fave. No can get. The Deschutes IPA pretty good and can be cheap @ KTA. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/63/29209 aloha, clink, pog RE: I'll drink to that - ericlp - 11-18-2011 Being an IPA kinda guy myself Fire Rock Pale Ale - Kona Brewing Company is pretty good!
