Beer By-Products Yield Better Crops

The Numbers: 85% of brewing’s by-products are spent grains; 8% of greenhouse gas emissions are the result of food waste

Why Use Spent Grains: Spent Grain, a byproduct of brewing beer, is better compost for farming because it is pathogen and salt free. 

The Difference: Using spent grain has allowed collaborating breweries to become TRUE Zero Waste Platinum Certified. 99.4% of the brewery’s waste is diverted from landfills.  As a bonus, vegetables have improved taste and quality.
