Fermenting Revolution: How to Drink Beer and Save the World
By Christopher Mark O'Brien
Published by New Society Publishers, 2006
ISBN 0865715564, 9780865715561

Fermenting Revolution delivers an empowering message about how individuals
can change the world through the simple act of having a beer. Chris
O'Brien presents the case for beer as both the cause of and solution to
all of the world's problems. Beer has contributed to the best qualities of
civilization, but it is also helping to destroy them. The global beer
industry relies heavily on fossil-fuels and chemical agriculture, rapidly
destroying nature and contributing to climate change. Corporate beer is
centralized and hierarchical, which is good for a few elites, but
displaces local brewing traditions and exacerbates the growing wealth gap.
But the craft brewing renaissance relies on cooperation, emphasizes local
production, protects and celebrates nature, and nurtures the growth of
strong and equitable communities.
