A downtown Kansas City distributor for Anheuser-Busch is now delivering Bud by biodiesel. United Beverage Company is fueling its fleet of 22 diesel delivery trucks with a blend of 20 percent biodiesel, according to a press release from the National Biodiesel Board. The vehicles will fill up at a nearby Valero station, the area’s first biodiesel retail outlet. On Friday, NBB joined with the Kansas City Regional Clean Cities Coalition, Maher Oil, the City of Kansas City and the Sen. Jim Talent (R-MO) to celebrate the grand opening of the pump.
A biodiesel Bud beer wagon, eh? They’ve come a long ways since the days of those Clydesdales. (Certainly easier to clean up after the biodiesel wagon than the Clydesdales, if you get my meaning, and I think you do.)
Nothing better than biodiesel to haul adult malt beverages to all those good ol’ boys in KC. Only problem is that if it’s 20% bio, it must still be 80% fossil. They’re gonna have to work on that.
