Deschutes Brewery: Green Lake Organic
"Environmental pedigree aside, Green Lakes Organic Ale is a finely balanced beer with a mellow malt profile and subtle hop leading edge. On the ingredient roster: five types of 100% organic malted barleys and a complementary dose of Liberty and Sterling hops. It’s a profoundly satisfying, easy-drinking beer.
What’s more, no mere enviro wink and nod, Green Lakes Organic Ale is a true ode to Mother Earth. Both product and process have been carefully considered. Deschutes’s brewhouses are organically certified by Oregon Tilth. And while all malts are organic, the hops story is a less told eco-tale. A full 80% Salmon-Safe, they’re grown so that surrounding streams are shaded, cool and run-off free, allowing migrating salmon to flourish.
Enjoy in good taste, and conscience."
