食品生产工业需要大量的资源和能源，在生产过程中对环境产生负面影响。由于这些原因，在过去几年中，根据生命周期评估方法，从环境角度对不同的消费产品进行了分析。这项工作的目的是研究环境性能和能源消耗的不同啤酒生产在意大利的一个小啤酒厂。该研究采用了生命周期方法，重点是生产的工业阶段。对高发酵度的爱尔啤酒和低发酵度的拉格啤酒的生产进行了比较，目的是使啤酒的生产朝着更高的可持续性发展。我们的研究所涵盖的系统边界只是整个产品生命周期路径的工业步骤：啤酒厂的生产、装瓶、包装和废物处理（“门到门”和“门到坟墓”方法）。原材料，能源消耗和排放到空气，土壤和水进行了归一化的功能单元（啤酒在33 cL玻璃瓶）。根据LCA的参考标准（即，ISO 14040-14044），使用SimaPro 8.0.4软件分析数据，并使用原始数据和Ecoinvent 3.1数据库获得生命周期清单（LCI）。
The food production industry requires great amounts of resources and energy, causing, during the productions, negative effects on environment. For these reasons, in the last years, different products of consumption were analysed from the environmental point of view, following Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approaches. This work aimed at studying the environmental performance and the energy consumption of different beers produced in Italy by a small brewery. The study followed a life cycle approach and was focused on the industrial phases of the productions. A comparison among ale (high fermentation) and lager (low fermentation) beers’ productions was made with the aim of address the productions toward a higher sustainability. The system boundaries covered by our research are only the industrial steps of the entire products’ life cycle path: production in the brewery, bottling, packaging and waste disposal treatments (“gate to gate” and “gate to grave” approach). Raw materials, energy consumption and emissions to air, soil and water were normalized to the functional unit (beer in 33 cL glass bottle). In accordance with the reference standard for LCA (i.e., ISO 14040-14044), data were analysed using SimaPro 8.0.4 software and Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) was obtained using primary data and the Ecoinvent 3.1 database.
