Organic beer consumption is on the rise. Many are available in health food stores and a few major supermarkets. They are produced in many varieties using certified organic hops, yeast, and barley malt.
What makes organic beer better?
Unlike organic wine, there is no issue with sulfites. According to Peter Scholey, interviewed for Organicfood.co.uk, organic brewers are real enthusiasts who derive pleasure from the process. As many know, hops is what "makes" a beer, and organic hops is a better choice because you avoid pesticides and genetically modified organisms. And better hops make for a better-tasting beer.
Recently, the benefits of alcoholic beverages have been touted (in moderation) because of their antioxidants and heart-healthy benefits. Barley and hops also contribute B vitamins.
Below is a list of brewers in the U.S. where you can make your purchase online. Why not ask your local supermarket to carry them?
In addition, you have: Samuel Smith Lager from the Samuel Smith brewery, and St. Peter's Ale from St. Peter's brewery (both produced in the U.K.) If you'd like to try your hand at brewing your own organic beer, go to
