bot beverages

What I like most is that you can recycle the bottle and in most places you can’t recycle juice boxes due to their waxy paper. All three of my kids (ages 5, 3 and 1) have liked both flavors of bot we tried (lemon and orange). ... In other news, Zinio is giving away millions of free subscriptions to digital magazines, including Outside, Yoga, Green Source, Vegetarian, and more, and I thought you might be interested in letting your readers know about this opportunity.

Beer + Co-op financing = Internet Crowdfunding Party!

_41600182_german-beer203.jpgI love innovative financing schemes as much as the next gal. When you add beer to the mix, it kinda puts me over the top. In fact, I almost had my credit card out until I started reading the details.Beer Bankroll has the right idea--they are turning boring old investing into a rockin good time with their community financing model. Unfortunately, Beer Bankroll is not a very good investment because there is no actual opportunity to earn money, but it can still be a fun internet party.

Mateveza Yerba Mate Ale

The fusion of Organic Yerba Mate and Cerveza results in a very drinkable pale ale called Mateveza. The naturally caffeinated pale ale is a unique style in the craft beer market. First off, this beer is caffeinated because Yerba Mate provides natural energy from the plant. I’m not sure of the actual brewing process but the beer tastes slightly like Mate but definitely resembles a straight-forward pale ale.

mateveza review

Mate is normally woodsy and heavy unlike most teas. The mellow hops and citrus flavor counter balance the ale nicely.

Here’s a job we all want – carrying out a life cycle assessment of beer. One would have to really do some serious investigation to get realistic statistics on the “use phase”.
