Drinking Beer to Stay Warm?

Now people in England have one more reason to go to the pub and grab a pint--it can help heat their home. 

Waste from a Suffolk brewery, local supermarkets, pubs and hotels, is being sent to an Anaerobic Digestion plant to be turned into biogas.  The plant began sending gas to the grid earlier this month.  Starting off small, the plant can currently provide enough gas for 235 homes, but the facility's production capacity is expected to double in a year's time. The future is bright for biogas, which is "the single most important renewable energy resource."

Too pricey to waste

Great idea but at almost £4 a pint ($6.30) in London, you wouldn't want to leave a drop! Plenty of other stuff to go in there though.

Most waste is gathered from the brewing process itself rather than on a pint by pint basis. It's the byproduct of what makes the beer rather than the beer itself. Brewery waste is being utilised already as cattle feed and whether or not using it for biogas is a more economical way of disposing of it, I don't know, but it's an interesting idea! I have tried to recycle spent yeast from homebrewing to make bread, I hope this venture if more successful.
