Barley malt snack against waste of resources

The Locher Brewery has developed what it claims is Switzerland's first malt spent grain lentil snack, the "Trellini" snack. By 2025, all of the brewery's byproducts that do not go into agriculture will be processed into high-quality food, according to the company.

With brewbee, Locher Brewery has founded Switzerland's first food upcycling brand, which transforms brewery byproducts such as malt spent grains and brewer's yeast into sustainable foods and meat alternatives. "We stop the waste of valuable resources and use them to develop high-quality, sustainable foods," says brewery owner Karl Locher. "We are currently building Europe's largest spent grains upcycling plant for protein recovery with the Swiss startup upgrain here in Appenzell. It cannot be that the good nutrients and fiber are not utilized as they deserve. For decades, therefore, we have been working tirelessly to develop new ways of turning brewery by-products such as spent grains or brewer's yeast into high-quality food."
