Toast Real Ale: The Beer Made From Leftover Bread

February 11, 2016 · theflexitarian Leave a Comment

Toast Real Ale: The Beer Made From Leftover Bread

Whenever you hear of an innovative project about food waste, UK campaigner Tristam Stuart is somehow involved. Here he strikes again bringing us the best thing since sliced bread.

Toast Real Ale is the UK’s first-ever bread to beer ale. Brewed by craft purveyors Hackney Brewery, the innovative and great tasting ale uses fresh, surplus bread otherwise thrown away by bakeries, delis and sandwich makers.

The brewing process of this fresh and unique beer is so simple you can brew it yourself at home. Bread is sliced, then mashed to make breadcrumbs ready for the brewing process. The pale ale is brewed with malted barley, hops and yeast, the bread adds caramel notes that balance the bitter hops, giving a malty taste similar to amber ales and wheat beers.

Toast is on a mission to prove that the alternative to waste is delicious. All proceeds from Toast Ale are donated to Tristram Stuart’s food waste charity Feedback – the people helping to put a stop to food waste.

Food waste statistics are shocking:

  • Overall 1.3 billion tons of the food produced for human consumption is wasted every year.
  • Nearly half (44%) of bread in the UK, including 24 million slices a year in homes, is thrown away.
  •  In the UK alone, we waste about 15 million tons of food with bread being the worst offender.
  • Looking solely at calories, the number of bakery items wasted by UK households alone would be enough to lift 26 million people across the globe out of malnutrition.

With Toast Real Ale using a slice of bread in every bottle of expertly brewed beer, enjoying a cold one also helps you to do good. Celebrity fans embracing this innovative way to enjoy craft beer whilst helping to end food waste, include food waste champions Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.

Tristram Stuart said: “Tackling the global issue of food waste has taken me all over the world. It was at the Brussels Beer Project where I first found out about this innovative brewing process that turns a colossal global problem into a delicious, drinkable solution.

“We hope to put ourselves out of business. The day there’s no waste bread is the day Toast Ale can no longer exist.”

Jon Swain from Hackney Brewery said: “We absolutely jumped at the chance to join Feedback’s fight against food waste. The important thing for us, as brewers, was to create a beer that tasted good and stood up against other craft beers. We worked hard to brew a beer that wasn’t just a fad but something that people could enjoy time after time and would have a significant impact.”

Toast Real Ale has been created in partnership with the expert beer craftsmen at Hackney Brewery. The recipe, which has been lovingly created, is widely available to encourage the nation to start tackling its own bread waste.

Toast is available to buy at ToastAle.com with an RRP of £3.00. The list of stockists is growing every day as craft ale retailers, as well as pubs, bars and restaurants, join the bread to beer ale movement. Check out the website for a full list of stockists.

It's #MeatFreeMonday 😊🙌
These vegan courgette and corn fritters are lightly spiced with cumin, fresh coriander, lemon juice and mild chilli powder. I like to serve them with some dairy-free yoghurt and sweet chilli sauce drizzled all over, as well as some finely chopped spring onion.

These courgette and corn fritters contain no eggs, dairy or gluten. They are made with gram flour (also known as chickpea flour) which you can find in most supermarkets or ethnic stores. Gram flour is naturally gluten-free and high in plant-based protein.

I have tried this recipe with plain flour, plain flour + eggs and gram flour. I prefer the texture with gram flour but if you do not have any, plain flour works as well.

You can find the recipe on the blog. Link in my bio.

This Rhubarb & Strawberry Chia Pudding is the perfect summer  vegan dessert but you can also eat it for breakfast. Sweetened with maple syrup and the natural sugars of fruits, it is really fresh and light.

A one-pot wonder this vegan sweet potato & chickpea Moroccan stew, makes a quick and healthy family meal. I like to serve it with couscous (or quinoa) topped with plenty of sliced almonds, freshly chopped coriander, mint, (dairy-free) yoghurt and red chilis. This dish is also great on its own served with flatbread.⠀
⠀
Bright and colourful, this is such a feel-good and comforting recipe. The spices bring out the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes.⠀

This chickpea salad is another of my go-to dishes when I want something quick and healthy. It can be eaten on its own or as a side dish. For something a bit more substantial, I use it as a wrap filling.
This protein-packed salad is tossed in a simple lemon and olive dressing. Ground cumin adds some warm and earthy notes.

Grab the recipe on the blog. Link in my bio.
