"A life cycle study of one beer brand, including grain production, brewing, bottling, distribution and waste management, shows that the CO2 emissions from a 6-pack of micro-brew beer is about 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds).[150] The loss of natural habitat potential from the 6-pack of micro-brew beer is estimated to be 2.5 square meters (26 square feet).[151]"
Depending on the accuracy of wiki, I'd say I'm now against any type of carbon tax... lol. Of course, this is just one more reason to homebrew - I'm not a drunk, I'm saving the environment, one beer at a time.
