Cascade Green partners with BeGreen

Fosters and Cascade have partnered with BeGreen to promote their great new beer - Cascade Green.


Cascade describe their new beer and it's "green" credentials:

All gas emissions from Cascade Green are offset. That means, from the moment we source the hops from the lush Tasmanian wilderness, through to when you place your empty bottles in the recycling bin, every single carbon emission has been accounted for.


We only use local Tasmanian ingredients and offset the transport associated with these. Bio-degradable vegetable oil based inks are used for the packaging, and the carton is 100% recyclable.


Having said all that, beer is nothing less than the most important refreshment on earth and, whether it's green or not, it should taste great.


There was no way we were going to compromise on that. Hops, malt and with barley all grown in the pristine Tasmanian wilderness, Cascade Green is a full-flavoured, preservative free, low carb, refreshing lager.


How is Cascade Green a greener choice?
Cascade Green is a 100% carbon offset beer that has achieved Australian Government Greenhouse Friendly™ certification and is among only a handful of products approved under the Greenhouse Friendly™ Program (GFP). As part of this rigorous accreditation process, Cascade Green has undergone an extensive Lifecycle Analysis, which has been independently verified by DNV* and SMEC* and also has an Emissions Monitoring Plan in place to meet the ongoing commitments required of GFP members. (*Det Norske Veritas and Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation).


After first reducing our carbon footprint, we offset the full lifecycle of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the beer - right from picking the hops to putting it in the recycling bin. Meaning the net impact of the greenhouse gas emissions for Cascade Green is reduced to zero.


Cascade Green is also one step in a bigger journey for the Cascade Brewery.
