Barrington Brewery Goes Solar

December 20th, 2007 2:25 PM

Ooh, I’m always a fan of a good ol’ fashioned eco-friendly brew. Barrington Brewery located in Great Barrington here in the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts has gone solar powered. They recently bought a $55,000 solar panel and stuck it on the roof. It wasn’t just to save money in the long run, though. They truly are being friendly to the environment. Heck, they have carpeting made from recycled plastic.

Unfortunately, it’s a bit far away from Boston, and I’d feel a little bad driving out there just to have a beer. However, I’m definitely stopping by the next time I’m passing through western Massachusetts. Maybe it’s time for another trip out to the Finger Lakes.
