Reusing Spent Malts "Baku-Katsu" Project

We are looking for more people to help us in our efforts to reuse the spent grain byproduct of the brewing process.  The grain is currently collected by local farmers, zoos, and botanical gardens who use the grain for feed and fertilizer.  As our production volume has grown, so has the need to increase the number of people involved in this endeavor.  We hope you can help us by joining the “Baku-katsu (Spent Grain) Project” to ensure that this valuable resource doesn’t go to waste!   

< Application Period: Monday, August 15, to Monday, August 29 >
