Did you know that craft breweries generate enough leftover grain (commonly called "spent grain") to feed the world? According to https://ow.ly/MpWL50PcvsG, in 2021 208 million barrels of beer were produced in the U.S. Each barrel is 31 gallons, and each gallon of beer produces between 1 - 2 pounds of spent grain which averages out to be 9.6 billion pounds of spent grain produced in the U.S alone. What happens with the leftover grain? Typically, it gets hauled off to a landfill or by farmers to be used as animal feed, but as the brewing industry grows, more spent grain is being produced than the farmers can use. Since spent grain contains proteins that are rich in lipids and fiber it has a lot of nutritional value and letting it go to waste seems, well, wasteful. Instead of letting spent grain go to waste, it can be upcycled into nutritious, shelf-stable ingredients for both human and animal consumption. As you can imagine from the amount of spent grain produced by U.S. breweries alone, there's enough produced globally to be upcycled and feed the world. 🌍🌾🍺 #foodupcycling #spentgrain #upcycling #climatechange #upcycledfood #sustainablefood #sustainablefoodsystems #healthyplanet #circularfoodeconomy

Bourbon and terroir: While not as commonly discussed as with wine, the concept of terroir (environmental factors affecting crop characteristics) is gaining recognition in bourbon production. Factors like local climate, water source, and even the soil where the corn is grown can influence flavor.
