Ethanol Made From Brewing Waste To Power Official Cars

DENVER — The Democratic National Convention is going to be fueled by beer. And it’s not just at the parties at the summertime event.
Brewer Molson Coors is donating fuel made mostly out of beer waste for use at the convention.

The Denver 2008 host committee said the beer-based ethanol-gasoline blend will power the official cars. But ethanol isn’t the only thing coming from the Denver-based brewer.

Molson Coors will also provide beer — for drinking — at convention-related events

NEWPORT, OR., May 22, 2008 (Rogue Wire Service):  The Rogue Nation’s Department of Agriculture has entered into a strategic alliance with Heritage Hop Growers, the Coleman Family.The Rogue Hop Farm is on the Willamette River, south of Independence, Oregon on the former John Haas Alluvial Hop Farm. Four varieties are now being planted on 22 acres with an initial harvest in 2009. The four varieties are Perle, Sterling, Horizon, and Centennial. The hops will be processed and baled on the farm.

In 2009 Rogue will create an all Oregon product using Oregon hops and malt from their farms, yeast from Wyeast in Hood River, and Oregon Free Range Coastal Water, in commemoration of Oregon’s 150th Birthday.

In 2008 a fresh hop beer will be available from the farm. The Rogue Nation Postal Service will issue a commemorative stamp marking the occasion.

We are proud to join with Oregon Farmers who provide the essential ingredients for Oregon’s thriving fermentation economy.
