Brewer’s Foods is an innovative, upcycled snack company right here in Somerville, Massachusetts that turns a common biproduct of beer brewing into delicious and sustainable food! When breweries make beer, they use high-quality grains like barley to extract sugars, then discard the leftover “spent grains”, a excess that still contains flavor, protein, fiber, and nutrients. Instead of letting that grain go to waste or to landfills, Brewer’s Foods dries and recycles it into crackers, chips, pretzels, and other snacks, combining the upcycled grain with wholesome ingredients for a unique and tasty product line that appeals to environmentally conscious eaters.
The company was founded by Chef Kyle Fiasconaro, who saw an opportunity to address food waste in the craft brewing industry while creating a distinctive snack brand with a meaningful mission. Brewer’s Foods works with local breweries to source spent grain and crafts it into products like flatbreads and rosemary-sea-salt chips that offer a nutty, hearty flavor profile, all while emphasizing sustainability and nutritional value. In addition to being sold right here in our lobby market, it is available regionally at specialty stores and retailers like Whole Foods, the brand has even launched nationally through partnerships with larger markets, bringing its upcycled snacks to a wider audience!
