Toast Ale and Dutch brewery Gebrouwen door Vrouwenhave have created two limited edition beers to prompt a conversation about food waste.
Launched in 2015 Toast Ale is all about addressing food waste and sustainability. The UK brewery works with bakeries to prevent surplus bread from being wasted, using it to produce its popular range of craft beers.
And they’ve collaborated Gebrouwen door Vrouwen, which translates as ‘brewed by women’ on two new Earth Day limited releases made with surplus bread that would have otherwise gone to waste.
Toasty Blond is a crisp 6.2% ABV Belgian-style Ale and Grapefruit Pale Ale is exactly that, a light 4.6% ABV refresher. Gebrouwen door Vrouwen translates as ‘brewed by women’. The Amsterdam-based brewery, which was founded by two sisters is an all-female operation, is donating ten cents from every bottle sold to the Taste Before You Waste foundation to further waste-free consumption.

“When I got the request to brew a beer together with Toast Ale I was immediately intrigued. Using surplus bread instead of grains was totally new for me, but sounded like such a logical solution,” said Do de Heij. “At Gebrouwen door Vrouwen we are very much interested in sustainability, and that’s why we love the mission of Toast Ale and Taste Before You Waste to raise more awareness about food waste.”
“Food systems are responsible for 34% of greenhouse gas emissions and 80% of deforestation, but one-third of food is wasted,” said Louisa Ziane, co-founder of Toast Ale. “Reducing food waste is a fun and delicious way to take action.”
“We love collaborating with other businesses on solutions,” added Ziane, “and are delighted to be working with Gebrouwen door Vrouwen to inspire people to act, over a beer.”
