Eat, drink while reducing climate change

Empowering you to take climate action by eating bread and drinking beer

The Spent Goods company works with organizations to re-imagine food waste, reducing their expenses and carbon footprint while generating new revenue sources.

Whether it's to make corrugated cardboard from spent grains or transforming day old bread into beer by diverting organic waste from the landfill,  we can help you to reduce your climate change impact.

Most recently, we worked with craft breweries to transform their leftover barley grains (aka spent grains) into revenue generating food products that is sold as part of their menu to their customers, made from their own spent grains (which they used to pay to dispose of).

Beer->Bread

We developed the Beer Bread (external link) , a delicious artisan sourdough bread made in Toronto by Drake Commissary with spent grains from Henderson's Brewery. (Have you read our Beer Bread reviews (external link)  yet? BlogTO considers it the latest bread craze (external link) !)

While the bread doesn't use a ton of spent grains, it's a great conversation starter amongst end consumers around the topic of food waste. End consumers have an alternative product that allows them to vote with their wallet for the change they want to see in the world.

Bread->Beer

We're now working to take surplus bread and make beer with it. Drake Commissary's surplus bread will be supplied to Henderson's Brewery, who will launch their Sourdough Indian Pale Ale later this year!
