Aubrey Davis of the Outer Banks Brewing Station says that America’s first wind-powered brew pub is breezing along with the 10kw wind turbine in their backyard. Installed and started on April 22, the Bergey Windpower turbine is saving the restaurant and brewery about $250 to $300 per month on its electricity bill. Because they make their own brews there, they need a good bit of power for refrigeration.Davis plans to attach a computer and weather station in the fall to the wind turbine. Then we will be able to go online and see the wind speed and the energy the turbine is producing. Cheers to the crew at the Brewing Station for their persistence in promoting a healthy, sustainable environment. Now, that's a cool one! I can't wait to sample it...
