Want to enjoy the drink of both the gods and Homer Simpson?

The Bite:

Beer. It's sometimes referred to as the drink of the gods, and other times just as Homer Simpson's daily dose. And the gods wouldn't want you to drink something tainted with noxious chemicals and pesticides. So, go for organic beer; it's pure, tasty and environmentally godly.

The Benefits:

Organic beers use the freshest ingredients, often supporting small local farmers.
With overall beer sales topping over 223 million barrels in 2004, going organic will drive down the prices of microbrewed organics.
Organic ingredients are more temperamental, so the brewers put more care into the process, giving you a better beer.

Personally Speaking:

To be honest, we drink more wine than beer, but today's organic microbrews are much more tasty than what we can remember from our college years.

Wanna Try:

Prices are going to vary depending on where you live so keep an eye out for a good deal at Whole Foods, Trader Joes and even your local supermarket:

Wolavers - certified organic and mighty tasty.
Eel River Brewing Company - several great organic options, including IPAs, porters and ambers.
Samuel Smith's Organic Lager - the British standard, goes with everything.
Although Brooklyn Brewery and New Belgium brewery can't claim to be organic, they are both powered 100% by wind.

Thanks for taking the time to post such a detailed and informative article. It has given me a lot of inspiration and I look forward to more like this in the future.

Bang For The Bite

You may have to pay a little more, but it's well worth it to get a great tasting brew. An Eel River Porter or Wolaver's IPA costs about $8.00 a six-pack in most stores.
