America's most recognized beer, Budweiser, just announced that every bottle of beer, will be made with renewables by 2025. They've also unveiled their new 100% percent renewable energy label to be put on each bottle of booze.
Bud’s parent company (which also happens to be the world's largest beer manufacturer) AB InBev also announced plans to shift to 100% renewables by 2025. The giant owns 35 different beers including, Budweiser, Bud Light, Stella Artois, Natural Light, Busch, Michelob Ultra, and Shock Top.
Each day, Budweiser sells over 41 million beers, worldwide, the switch to renewables equates to taking 48,000 cars off the road every year. Oklahoma’s Thunder Ranch wind farm will power the first brewery, with 298-megawatts of wind power.
"We know that climate change is an important issue for consumers. However, they aren't sure how their everyday actions can make a difference. The renewable electricity symbol helps consumers make smarter everyday choices that can have a positive, meaningful impact," Brian Perkins, VP at Budweiser, said.
Perkins is talking with other businesses and scientists about using the 100% Renewable Energy label on products, beyond thier own. What’s more, Budweiser is creating an advisory board that meets a few times a year, to discuss the progress made on the climate change movement.
