Sales of organic beers start to hop
Organic ales, lagers and pilsners are increasingly squeezing their way into retail coolers alongside non-organic beers. 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.

Had an organic porter from Butte Creek brewing at the Dominion Beerfest, http://www.buttecreek.com/. Not too shabby.

Anyone know what test markets the AB beers are in?

Always curious to try something new.

CA for sure. And I've talked to some people here in New England that have found A-B's organic brands locally.

There is a locator (by zip code) on the Wild Hop site:

I saw some in the store the other day. My big concern was whether they were so concered about the "organic" that they forgot about making a good beer. Anybody tried any organic label beer?
