What makes Toast Brewing so sustainable?

Toast Brewing is a unique brand with a clear mission centred around saving the planet. All Toast beers are made using surplus bread to replace barley. This means that less land, water and energy is used to manufacture Toast Brewing products, ultimately resulting in the beers having a lower carbon and environmental footprint.

This innovative business model also helps to reduce food waste. Toast Brewing states in its latest Impact Report that bread is one of the most wasted foods in the UK, with around 44% of the bread produced ending up as food waste. By using leftover bread to produce its beers, Toast Ale helps to address this problem.

Moreover, Toast Brewing donates all its distributable profits to environmental charities, including reputable organisations such as Rainforest Trust and Soil Heroes. The money Toast Brewing customers spend on its beers therefore goes towards addressing important sustainability causes. When purchasing Toast products, you can buy Mother Nature a round and raise a Toast to planet earth.
