 Brewing with the Sun, Barrel Aging, and Broadband Marketing in Rural Wisconsin
Central Waters is radiating the way as they generate heat for brewing and comfort using solar panels. They use solar panels for heat and support renewable energy at the MREA Energy Fair by contributing 3% of gross sales of Shine On Beer during the fair. A lot has changed over 13 years as they're doing more business and rely on keeping in touch over the Internet. So there's no excuse to miss my seasonal favorite.. the Bourbon Barrel Stout. – Interview with Paul Graham, Central Waters Brewing Company, Amherst (population 1,000), Wisconsin.
