1k “Beer Walk” in Crystal City this Weekend

Date: Thu, Jan 19, 2012

Getting out for a bit of a stroll this weekend. I’ll be walking a whopping one kilometer inside the mall in Crystal City. Going shopping at the mall doesn’t sounds like something Chris O’Brien would be doing, right? Well, I could be going to get a hearty dose of homophobic christian conservatism at Chik-Fil-A, or [...]

COOP Ale Works

Date: Tue, Jan 17, 2012

COOP Ale Works looks like they are trying to deal with sustainability issues in their brewery. Their promo video is well done and they seem to be making some efforts by purchasing using wind power, for example. I do wish though that when breweries claim to use “No additives, no chemicals, no preservatives” they would [...]

First LEED Certified Brewery?

Date: Mon, Jan 9, 2012

Yesterday, Jason at Brewery Vivant emailed me asking if I knew of any LEED certified breweries. I was stumped. So I checked the LEED Project Directory.

Madison House of Brews Launches “Community Supported Brewery”

Date: Tue, Dec 13, 2011

This has been my dream for years so I’m totally envious. The Madison House of Brews is using Kickstarter to help them launch a “community supported brewery,” building on the “community supported agriculture” model small farms have been using for years to connect directly with their customers and share the financial costs and benefits of [...]

Religion & Beer: A Tasting at the Sixth and I Historic Synagogue

Date: Mon, Dec 13, 2010

It is no surprise that so many great cultures have taken to worshiping fermented grain — if there is a god, beer certainly brings us closer to her. And that’s why we will be praising the beer goddesses and gods during a night [...]

Last weekend I helped build two green roofs on campus at American University. Green roofs in Washington D.C. help prevent water pollution from entering the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers and eventually the Chesapeake Bay. Details on the District of Columbia’s green roof incentives are online here. Channel 9 News interviewed me about the project. It [...]
