Did you know that 9 million six-packs of beer are home-brewed annually? With the sales of organic beer doubling in 3 years, beer is not just for drinking anymore. Jason's hobby is brewing beer. He'd love to learn some entertaining recipes that will highlight his home brew.
Chef Emeril will start him off with a light and citrusy Asian Style Mussels Meuniere. Sure to be a crowd pleaser, Emeril's Favorite Choucroute Casserole. A Raspberry Wheat Ale is delicious used in a dressing for a Mixed Baby Greens With Goat Cheese Salad. And for dessert, Espresso Amber Ale Ice Cream With Dark Chocolate Honey Sauce.
Emeril's Tips:
Recycle your bottles, cans and other packaging.
- Make sure to get those cans and bottles into the recycling bin.
- An aluminum can will be recycled and back on the shelves within 60 days.
- Aluminum is a sustainable metal and can be recycled often.
- 1 ton of recycled glass saves: 1,300 pounds of sand, 410 pounds of soda ash, 380 pounds of limestone.
- And don't forget that cardboard box casing?unless it's drenched in beer and ruined, that can go in the paper section of your recycling bin.
Drink beer from draught instead of from bottles when you can.
- Drinking the draught is greener than downing the bottles.
- Due to the resource saving from the packaging differences, draught beer has been found to have a 68 percent lower impact than bottled beer.
- Opt for paper free bottles.
- If you do buy a bottle, buy one without paper labels and adornments.
- Go for those that have the labeling printed right on the bottle.
- Considering that 52 percent of all the alcoholic beverages purchased in the U.S. are beers, that would save you a lot of paper.
- Going paperless also saves on unnecessary emissions involved in the burning of paper during the recycling process.
