ABINBEV BROUWERIJPLEIN

Brewing beer creates a byproduct called brewer’s spent grain (BSG), which the industry has historically sent to landfills or animal feed. As the world’s largest brewing company, we sustainably source about three million metric tons of the highest quality malting barley every year. That means a lot of BSG—about 1.4 million metric tons annually.

We realized we had an opportunity to reimagine BSG. To do this, we created our own ingredients business, one that would unleash the hidden potential in our grain for the health of people and our planet. Now, we’ve built and acquired technology, production capabilities, and a best-in-class R&D team to upcycle our BSG into a plentiful, sustainable supply of industry-leading nutritious ingredients.

Upcycled Certified™ and Non-GMO Project Verified —our taste-forward ingredients deliver on the full potential of barley to better your beverage products and our planet.

Our vision is a world that realizes the potential in everything. We realize the role that upcycled barley can play in overcoming the global challenge of nourishing our ever-growing planet.
