AB InBev and EverGrain: Realising the Potential in Everything

At EverGrain, we’re realising the untapped potential of barley. Backed by AB InBev, EverGrain sets out to save the proteins and fibres of 1.4 million tons of barley (with starch removed for the brewing process) and transform them into ingredients that improve the nutritional profile of foods and beverages – while having a lower environmental impact when compared to alternatives.

Through the power of circularity, we are transforming what used to be a low-value by-product into high-quality, nutritious ingredients. We believe there is no such thing as waste, only things that haven’t been transformed yet.
