Jul 09, 2008 BANG FOR THE BITE If 10,000 Biters have a beer from a keg instead of a glass bottle, we'll avert the weight of 11 lions in container waste.

When it's time to throw your next rager - or even dinner party - opt for beer growlers or kegs from your local brewery (or if wine's more your thing, magnums), and save resources it takes to make smaller bottles and cans. Rowlr! The Benefits Growls for reusability. Growlers and kegs are reusable, and bigger wine containers save glass. Less savage on our resources. Aluminum and glass production require mining resources from the earth. Just an example: Producing 1 ton of aluminum creates 20-30 tons of mine waste. Impressing your fellow animals. A big container of your local brew is bound to go over better than a case of PBR. Personally Speaking We tested more than a few boxed wines, hoping to include a couple, but haven't found any that we love. Let us know if you've found a tasty one in the blog. Wanna Try? Many local breweries sell beer in growlers, and some offer a discount when you bring them back for refilling. You can get wine magnums at most supermarkets and liquor stores.
