Summary

This article introduces a study on greenhouse gas emissions associated with beer production using the example of a brewery in Bavaria, Germany. The amount of beer-related greenhouse gases and the measures to reduce CO 2 emissions in each of the unit operations in beer production (agriculture, malting, hop processing, consumables used in the brewery, brewing, packaging and transportation) are discussed. A systematic climate protection strategy is described.
