ESP asked:


How are they differing their formulas in order to ensure they are really organic?

    They use organically grown grains and hops from organic grain and hop farms. Not sure who all makes it, I know New Belgium in Colorado had an organic brew. I think Sam Smiths in England had one too. I know there’s more, but who cares, it’s beer. I see no point in paying more for gimic/fad beers. There’s a big enough problem with grain and hop shortages, if all grain and hops were organic, we wouldn’t know what specialty beer is or what “not being in a shortage” would be like. Axelpeddle

    Axel makes great points.
    The only other brewery I know of that is certified organic is Wolaver’s, out of Vermont. As he stated, New Belgium’s Mothership Wit is certified organic, as is Sam Smith’s organic Lager (although UK breweries have different standards for organic labeling, so that one doesn’t really count.)
    There are others, and if you’re dead set on finding them, your best bet is to contact the Brewers’ Association for info…
