Elliott Bay Brewing Company to Go Green

"This July, Elliott Bay Brewing Company's Burien location became only the second certified organic beer provider in the state and its West Seattle location should follow suit by the end of the year.

To be certified organic, a beer must have all of its ingredients, as well as its brewing facility, meet the Washington State Department of Agriculture guidelines for organic food.

Doug Hindman, head brewer for Elliott Bay Brewing, said the company is now able to offer 12 certified organic beers brewed at its Burien location.

Elliott Bay Brewing started the application for certification of its Burien location last October, but because the application required paperwork from the suppliers of all ingredients certifying their organic nature as well as paperwork pertaining to the brewing process, the certification was not finalized until late July, Hindman said."
