Budweiser is taking advantage of consumers’ energy-related ignorance by stating that its beers are brewed with 100 percent renewable electricity, according to an energy expert.

Energy analyst Alex Epstein has argued that the claim by Budweiser is false, pointing out that “most of the energy that goes into its beer is fossil fuel.” He believes that such claims mislead the public about the possibility of relying solely on renewable energy.
