A Totally Shameless, Biased Plug for My Other Employer: The (Unbeliveably Awesome) Portsmouth Brewery

Speaking as someone who actually works part-time at the Portsmouth Brewery, and having worked in restaurants on and off since I was 17, I can safely say that I've never come across an operation more admirable in its dedication to cutting waste and giving back to the community than Portsmouth's favorite Brew Pub. And I was in no way offered a raise to say that...

All joking aside, I remember coming to The Brewery about a year ago, after serving six long, wholly unsatisfying months in a barbecue-joint-on-Congress-Street-whose-name-I-will-not-mention. It took me about an hour to realize what made the Brewery special -- in its own right, sure, but particularly when compared to almost every restaurant of its size, anywhere. From CFL lighting throughout the restaurant to compost donations to local pig farms to extensive and steadfast commitments to local charities, The Brewery -- long known for its food and drink -- has increasingly set itself apart in all manners green. But don't take my completely biased word for it -- read the Green Story.
