Researching interdisciplinary literature regarding a brewery’s production practices highlight their energy-­‐use and water-­‐use and the subsequent environmental burden and increased cost from inefficient use of natural resources. Examining multidisciplinary studies of each stage of beer making stresses the superfluous generation of solid waste, liquid waste, and air emissions and their associated environmental impacts. This report emphasized the major impacts for each stage in beer production and summarized sustainable opportunities that breweries or other manufacturing companies can explore in more detail based on each company’s environmental, social, and economic circumstances.
