TreeBeer - one tree per beer

A Lenzburg brewery has created a limited edition TreeBeer. The delicious Märzen beer is a limited edition by NIKIN. For every TreeBeer sold, a tree is planted - just like with all other NIKIN products. The spectators of the skate contest make active use of the offer. Drinking beer and planting a tree at the same time - it has never been so easy to do something good for our environment.
