A Brewery with Some Bite

People love beer. People also love sustainability. And one Albuquerque Brewery is serving up a tasty combination of the two.

Kaktus Brewery, recently featured in the ABQ Journal, is pretty unique in that sense, serving up tasty craft beers and of course, conducting their business in a pretty “green” way. The brewery is described as a community moreso than a brewery. They even have house chickens to complement their wide variety of unique craft beers.

According to ABQ Journal, when you visit Kaktus Brewery, you get some personal attention you probably won’t find anywhere else:

Before guests even reach the tap area, they immediately enter the self-guided tour. They can go behind the scenes at their leisure to see how Kaktus operates and learn more about the ingredients it uses in its craft beers.

...

Other interesting things to see at Kaktus are its 50-panel solar array with a 6-kilowatt system, its use of recycled water and its house chickens. All contribute to the brewery’s mission to model sustainable living and working practices.

...

Kaktus also feeds its 15 chickens with food that patrons do not finish. The leftover food also is used for compost, Koller said.
