Partner Profile Uinta Brewing Company, which received honorable mention in the 2002 Green Power Direct Purchase Awards, is committed not only to brewing great beer, but to environmental stewardship. In addition to its energy-efficient facility, its support of local community organizations, and its emphasis on recycling, 100 percent of the brewery electricity is powered by wind energy. Uinta president and founder Will Hamill strongly supports the decision to invest in clean, renewable energy, despite the increase in the company's utility bill. Using the slogan "when it blows, it flows," Hamill feels that the environmental benefits strongly outweigh the costs and that consumers will be drawn to a product brewed by 100 percent wind power.
