Brewers' spent grain – a valuable side-stream
Brewer's spent grain (BSG) is a by-product of brewing. It is rich in fibre and protein, but low in sugar. Around 40 million tons of brewers' spent grain are produced each year, with much being used as animal feed or biogas, and the rest going to landfill – up until now. Because now, we are making this side-stream more viable for usage in the food industry. By upcycling brewers' spent grain into a liquid ingredient, the next generation of plant-based drinks is taking shape.
