Twin Lakes using solar energy for its beers

By KRISTIN HARTY

The News Journal



GREENVILLE -- The beer isn't actually green, but Twin Lakes Brewing Co. is brewing it with "green energy."

 

New solar panels at the 2-year-old business are generating about 30 percent of its power, with the potential to expand in years ahead.

With all six varieties of Twin Lakes on tap, a good time is guaranteed for all.


"We wanted to fight what we call the energy terrorists"" said Matt Day, marketing and sales director at the brewery, which makes five types of ale, using no preservatives.

 

"We brew it naturally here, from the water on the farm."

Installed in February, the solar energy system gave the company a reason to celebrate Earth Day early. On Saturday, owners offered visitors tours, live music, food and -- of course -- cold beer.

 

The brewery, on a 252-acre farm that's been in the family of co-owner Sam Hobbs for seven generations, sold 10,000 cases of beer last year, Day said. An investment in solar power seemed logical, with energy and gas prices skyrocketing, he said.

 

"Delaware has some of the best incentives in the country" said Bill Rawheiser, president of Wise Power Systems, which installed Twin Lakes' solar panels. Delaware's Green Fund pays half the costs of solar energy systems for residents and businesses, and the state and federal governments offer tax credits to people who go solar.

 

"I know beer, and I would say this is probably one of the most natural tasting beers anywhere," said Enrico Espinosa, who sipped a glass of Greenville Pale Ale on Saturday afternoon. A regular customer, he brings empty half-gallon jars called "growlers" to the brewery once a week for refills.

"It's glorious," Espinosa said. "You should try some"

 

Rawheiser has installed solar energy systems at an increasing number of residences and businesses across the state.

 

"It's mostly residential, but the businesses are starting to call," Rawheiser said. "They're realizing if they own their own energy generation, they're in control."
