Sierra Nevada Wanderland nectarine ale
I picked up a six-pack of Sierra Nevada’s latest beer at the Grocery Outlet – the Wanderland nectarine ale.

Serra Nevada brewing has been a longtime leader in sustainability – 4.5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact.
Deschutes Obsidian Stout
I picked up a six-pack of Deschutes Obsidian Stout at the Grocery outlet a week ago. It’s ranked 8th on Beer Advocate’s list of the best American stouts. Overall, I think that Deschutes Obsidian Stout deserves a regular rating of 4 gold stars and an ethical rating of 4.5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact.

I picked up a bottle of Califia Protein Oat milk at the Grocery outlet a week ago for $2 – it’s normally $6 at other stores.

Overall, I think that Califia Protein Oat milk deserves 4 Green Stars for social and environmental impact.
