Pulling Environmentally Friendly Pints

So I came across the most peculiar sort of pub this evening. An organic pub. Not so much the pub itself of course, but all the beers they served. Even, and this quite shocked me, even the gin was organic. I was expecting to be a bit disappointed when they would produce Bombay Sapphire to make a g&t. But no. Instead the bartender magically produces Save the Whales organic gin, or something just like that, and sets about to pouring. At which point it did strike me that I have no idea really what organic gin even means. Nor organic beer really. It's just a buzz word that speaks to us of environmental consciousness and general goodness and all things vaguely wonderful. So I resolved to look it up when I got home. Which I've now done and have the web page open behind this one. Only I've since lost interest in the topic. Well, not the topic so much, it really is a wonderful topic. And I'm still very much interested in said topic. I was sampling the topic all evening. Enjoying it too. You should try it sometime.

I mean, who could say no to a pint of Eco Warrior Organically Brewed Pale Ale?
