Wind is in our Sails (Literally) at Dock Street Brewery

Next time you’re enjoying a pint at the brewpub, check out the repurposed boat sails hanging from the ceiling. While dampening the sounds from Slayer riffs coming from the stereo, they also commemorate Dock Street Brewery & Restaurant’s recent conversion to 100% wind-powered energy. The sails come to us through donations from friends and via YMCA Camp Tockwogh in Maryland.

As of this summer, every watt of power expended at Dock Street is re-invested in regional and national wind farms across the country through the Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) program. The program, which is provided in partnership with Philadelphia-based Inspire Energy, supports the green energy economy by cutting green energy costs, creating more jobs, and dismantling fossil fuel dominance in the Philadelphia region. Dock Street’s contribution will offset the burning of coal for power, and will hopefully be a small but irritating thorn in the side of grubby oil and gas energy executives.
