Did you know some of the earliest beers were made using wild yeast to ferment baked grains - very similar to bread? It was an epic way of working with nature to preserve food. This ancient technique is at the heart of Toast Brewing's unique approach.

In the modern world, we face a paradox of plenty. Despite producing a massive amount of bread, using land, water, and energy, about 44% of it is wasted. This reflects a larger issue in food production, the biggest contributor to climate change, where one third of all food is wasted.

Since its inception in 2016, Toast Brewing has embarked on a remarkable journey. They've saved an astonishing amount of bread from being wasted. To visualize, if these slices were stacked, they would stand over four times the height of Mount Everest!

At Toast Brewing, the mission is clear and compelling. By fighting food waste, advocating for nature, and channelling all their profits to charities dedicated to protecting the natural world, Toast Brewing isn't just about crafting excellent beer. They are about making a difference, one slice at a time.
