Organic Beer Sales Grow, Anheuser-Busch Enters Market Edit

It’s probably true that Organic ANYTHING is hot right now.  So it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that organic beer is the next big thing in bars.  In fact, Anheuser-Busch has now entered the market with its own organic beer label.

From Associated Press:
When Jon Cadoux launched his line of ales under the Peak Organic label this spring, he figured making them organic would distinguish them from the multitude of other beers on the market. At the same time, he wanted to put out a product he says is healthier for people and the planet.

While organic beer sales are still minuscule in the overall beer industry, they are rising fast. North American sales of organic beers grew from $9 million in 2003 to $19 million in 2005, according to the Organic Trade Association.
