While pubs were closed across the UK, thousands of litres of beer which had already been brewed went past its expiry date - meaning that in many instances, it was simply poured away. But independent regional brewer, Hall & Woodhouse, found a more sustainable solution for what do with the unsold beer. Thanks to the brewery s green energy focus, the returned products helped create enough electricity to power nearly 17,000 average homes for a day - or around 46 homes for one whole year.
Toby Heasman, Hall & Woodhouse Head Brewer, said: Although lockdown meant that many of our pubs had to return unsold beer back to the brewery, the silver lining has been that none of this has gone to waste. Thanks to our wastewater treatment plant, all of the returned beer has been used to generate green electricity.
