Summary: <p>All beer is made from four ingredients - water, carbohydrates, hops and yeast. In ancient Babylonian times, they would use bread as the carbohydrate source as a way to preserve a food prone to spoilage. When <a href="https://www.tristramstuart.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Tristram Stuart</a>, founder and CEO of Toast Ale, first heard about this recipe he realized he had found the perfect project to go all in on. </p> <p><a href="https://www.toastale.com/" rel="nofollow">Toast</a> takes leftover bread from bakeries and sandwich shops and turns it into delicious beer. The company has open sourced its recipe and encourages franchises and partnerships in other cities and countries. They have partnerships in New York City, Iceland, South Africa, and Brazil, with further plans to expand. All proceeds go to Tristram's charity <a href="https://feedbackglobal.org/" rel="nofollow">Feedback</a>.</p> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/louisaziane" rel="nofollow">Louisa Ziane</a> is the Chief Financial Officer and Brand Manager for Toast Ale UK.
