April is Earth Month and some Chicago area brewers are taking steps to preserve the planet.
A Chicago South Side craft brewery has hit on an idea that’s helping the environment, while also teaching some high school students about sustainability. You might call it the barley-beer-beef-burger circle of life.Horse Thief Hollow brewing in Beverly makes a lot of tasty beer. In fact, their Pilsner recently won a national award. And to make a lot of beer you need to use a lot of grain.
" come right up to us and get all excited."Then when the cattle at the high school get to about 1,200 pounds they’re sent downstate to a meat processing facility, which then sends the meat to the brewery to be made into tasty burgers for customers. That’s right. The beef cattle that ate the brewery’s barley become burgers to be served at the brewery.This year will be the first year that all of our beef will be produced at the ag school," said Byers.
