Toast Brewing

Best Start-up Enterprise Sponsor

Toast Brewing set out to make beer that tastes amazing and does amazing things too. That’s why we brew with surplus bread, turning leftover loaves into liquid gold.

We’ve reinvigorated a process that’s as old as beer itself – our ancestors first brewed beer with bread over 5,000 years ago – to solve a modern day problem that sees one-third of food wasted globally.

By using surplus bread to replace barley, not only does it make good use of one of the world’s most commonly wasted foods but we dramatically cut back on the amount of land, water and energy we use, reducing carbon emissions and giving nature a break.

Reducing food waste is the fastest, cheapest and most equitable action to tackle the climate and nature crisis.

What’s more, 100% of our profits go to environmental charities to buy Mother Nature a round.

By the end of 2023, we had upcycled over 3.3 million slices of bread. If we stacked up those slices, they’d reach almost 5 times the height of Mount Everest! We have also donated £117,000 to food and environmental charities. Read more about our impact in our 2023 Impact Report.

Our impact extends beyond brewing. We are a certified B Corp and Social Enterprise, and our Equity For Good model ensures that whilst all dividends go to charity, capital gains will also support a greener, healthier economy.

Raise a Toast to planet Earth. Cheers!
