Beer
1kg grain makes 10 pints of beer
Breweries across the UK produce around half a million tonnes of spent grain per year. After use, the grain still has a lot of nutritious content.
The Brewing Process
1. The mash
Hot water is run through grain to make sugary water called "wort".
2. The boil
Hops are added to the Kettle to give flavour, aroma and bitterness.
3. Fermentation
Yeast is added to the fermenting vessel, which eats the sugar and creates CO2 and alcohol.
4. Packaging
The yeast is dropped out, and the beer is packaged into casks, kegs, bottles or cans!
Our grain comes from Villages
Villages was started in 2016 by Archie and Louis Village, with some help from Tom. They brew a core range of sessionable ales and a lager, as well as a rotating offering of seasonal / special beers.
