Most of us are concerned about the number of pesticides used in food and drink production these days, and strive to live a more organic life, but sometimes it can feel like an uphill struggle.

The good news is that going organic needn’t mean a complete life overhaul, it can simply involve making a few small changes to your life, by occasionally replacing the products you enjoy with organic versions. Going organic doesn’t mean giving up everything you love and living a life of denial!

For me, nothing is more relaxing after a busy day than enjoying a refreshing beer in my favourite comfy chair, preferably with some tasty snacks too. And it’s fantastic that there is so much choice available when it comes to organic beer these days!

It used to be that organic beer could only be found in select (and often expensive) health food shops and was very limited in choice, but nowadays it is possible to find a wide range of refreshing and delicious organic beers in almost any good supermarket.

As well as organic beers, you will find plenty of organic wines and organic spirits in many stores and online. So, whether your tipple of choice is lager, a gin and tonic or a fruity glass of red, you can enjoy it while feeling proud that you’re sticking to your organic principles.

On top of tasting fresh and full of flavour, organic beer comes with the added bonus that it’s kinder to the environment. To be classified as organic, a product must be made without certain pesticides and organic products are produced using methods that are much more environmentally-friendly than non-organic foodstuffs.

As well as all these benefits, it’s often been said that organic alcohol gives less of a hangover than non-organic drinks, so there’s an excuse to buy it in if ever we heard one!
