About Toast Ale: Toast Ale is on a mission to prove that the alternative to food waste is delicious. Toast is an awesome, award-winning beer brewed using fresh surplus bread that would otherwise be wasted. Did you know 44% of bread in the UK and over ⅓ of the fresh bread in the USA is never consumed? Our mission is to change that.

We source surplus fresh bread from bakeries and sandwich manufacturers. We contract brew with established brewers, leveraging their expertise to create truly delicious beers. We also collaborate to create exciting beers with local bread at a community level. There’s a slice of surplus bread in every bottle or can and our ambition is to end bread waste through the beer industry. All our profits go to our brilliant partner charity Feedback to support the fight against food waste, making Toast the best thing since, well, you know…

Our founding principles: Toast exists for the following 4 core founding principles:

1. To produce great beer
2. To eliminate bread waste directly by brewing as much of it as possible
3. To raise awareness of the problem of, and solutions to, food waste
4. To maximize profits, all which will go directly to Feedback and other local food waste organizations
