Bevvies With A Cause

1. Beer drinkers can have a clearer conscious with New Zealand’s first carbon neutral brew. Christchurch brewery The Fermentist is the first in the country to receive an Enviro-Mark Solutions carboNZero certification for its pale ale. Efforts have been made to reduce emissions throughout the beer’s life cycle — from the fertiliser that grows the grain to the refrigeration of the product at home. $4.50 for a 330ml can.
