A BREWERY managed to stop beer wastage and instead use it to create energy over lockdown. Hall and Woodhouse, which owns many pubs across Sussex, has now found a sustainable solution for unsold beer. Over the last year huge amounts of beer have been returned to breweries, thrown away or spoiled due to the pubs being forced to shut. The brewery managed to use the returned beer and convert it into green electricity by using the biogas it creates. This was done by using their wastewater treatment plant. The amount of energy created from the beer could power 17,000 homes for a day – or 46 homes for a whole year.
