No, Did not visit Oregon, but found a very interesting story on the internet about liquid gold, the nectar of the god’s, a true green beer just in time for Saint Patrick’s Day festivities…seems that folks at the Lucky Lab Brew Pub have GONE SOLAR. Step up to the bar folks and have a taste of true liquid sunshine, a beer kissed by the sun.
A row of solar panels installed on the roof of the brew pub gather energy from the sun that is then used to heat a 900 gallon tank of water than stands nearby. The heated water is then used to brew what they playfully refer to their new suds as “Sun Beer”.
The $70,000 cost to install the solar system will be recouped in a few short years, while saving the small brew pub money for at least the nest 25 years. The owners are planning on installing similar solar units at their other locations. So, this year on Saint Patrick's day, look for some True Green Beer.

Love the new blog! I have just a tiny request - please go up a font size just to make it easier for those of us who need glasses but never wear them (smile). I'll keep checking in and wanted to let you know about another new cool blog http://uranium2008.blogspot.com
The site, of course, isn't as cool as yours!
