That's kinda cool. This is the first time I have heard about someone actually going beyond organic alcohol and making sure the process of production is a bit more eco-friendly.

MSU’s student body, largely unaware, is also contributing to the enterprise. Recycled fryer grease from campus cafeterias and the canola seed from Charlotte are the two sources of the biodiesel that MBC uses to power its steam generator to heat water to make beer.

Canola Oil 133 gallons per care.
Hemp 1,000 gallons per acre.
