Sustainability of Craft Breweries in Wales

Supervisors

Dr Eifiona Thomas Lane & Dr David Styles

Qualifications

MBA Environmental Management, Bangor University

Research

The focus of this PhD will be to look at the sustainability of craft breweries in Wales. The work will aim to measure the environmental footprint of small scale brewing. A Life Cycle Analysis approach will be used to map all inputs and outputs associated with all stages of the value chain of brewing. This will then be used to measure the Carbon, Water and Land footprint.  The second aspect of this work will be to measure socio-economic advantages of locally produced craft beer and how that benefits the local economy.
