Fill ‘er up — with beer?

Newspaper reports Coors is selling ethanol created from beer production waste.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) – Believe it or not, your car could be fueled by beer

According to a news report in Monday’s Denver Post, Coors Brewing Co. uses waste from the beer production process to produce approximately 1.5 million gallons of ethanol, which is then sold in the wholesale market.
Coors, which partners with area engineering firm Merrick & Company to produce the alternative fuel, said they plan to build another ethanol facility due to the success of the program, according to the paper.

“We’ve basically taken a waste stream and turned it into a revenue stream,” Steven Wagner, the Merrick vice president who oversees the ethanol project, told the paper.
