Yesterday evening was our 28th Meet the Brewer, since our first one in 2018. Although the formula hasn't changed much over the years, each event is different and each brewer has their own unique story to tell.
That was especially true last night when we welcomed Beyond Belief Brewing who produce beers from surplus food. We tasted and learned about a pale ale made from surplus pasta (essentially the unavoidable "offcuts" from the pasta making process), an IPA made using surplus bread, a lemony beer made from surplus fondant fancies and finally a beer brewed in Ghana using surplus rice and mangoes (over 70% of Ghanaian mangoes are wasted every year, largely due to being not perfect enough for western supermarkets).
An interesting evening, thanks to Freddie and Megan!
