Organic beer gaining momentum in marketplace

Organic beers have become increasingly popular among consumers, with sales more than doubling since 2003, according to the Organic Trade Association.

Sales of organic beer grew 40 percent in 2005, which ties it with organic coffee as the fastest-growing organic beverage. Even Anheuser-Busch -- the nation's largest beer company and maker of Budweiser products -- recently started producing two brands of organic beers.
