Beer: How to drink healthily and sustainably

Globally,  we drink about 188 billion liters of beer each year, enough to fill over 75,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools! But this much beloved drink comes with a serious environmental footprint: a single pint of beer requires 8-10 pints of water and large amounts of energy to make.

So how can we enjoy beer without harming the planet? In this episode, we speak with Felix James, co-founder of London-based Small Beer Brew Co, to learn about how beer is made and how companies like his are making good beer at a fraction of the environmental cost.
