Leading Players Shaping the Brewer's Spent Grain Market Landscape
The brewer's spent grain market features several prominent companies steering innovation and growth. Key operators include Heineken N.V., Carlsberg A/S, Boston Beer Company, Founders Brewing Co., Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., New Belgium Brewing Company, Bells Brewery, Yuengling & Son, Inc., Firestone Walker Brewing Company, Great Lakes Brewing Company, Lagunitas Brewing Company LLC, Boulevard Brewing Company, Allagash Brewing Company, Rogue Farms, Odell Brewing Company, Abita Brewing Company, Alaskan Brewing LLC, Summit Brewing Company, Leiber GmbH, Captain Lawrence Brewing Company, Eel River Brewing Company, Left Hand Brewing Company, Great Basin Brewing Company, and Mikkeller.
In a notable development in September 2024, Upgrain AG, a Swiss food-tech firm, collaborated with Brauerei Locher to create Europe's largest spent grain upcycling facility located in Appenzell, Switzerland. This partnership aims to transform brewer's spent grain into valuable food-grade protein, fiber, and flour substitute ingredients. The initiative focuses on waste reduction, circular resource reuse, and advancing sustainable food ingredient production. Brauerei Locher AG, a local brewery specializing in beer production, provides the spent grain feedstock required for Upgrain's upcycling process.

Sustainability Efforts Driving Brewer's Spent Grain Market Growth
Many leading companies in the brewer's spent grain market are putting sustainability at the forefront by implementing innovative strategies to reduce waste and boost resource efficiency. These efforts involve creatively reusing or recycling brewing byproducts to create additional value, supporting sustainable business models, and advancing the circular economy.
For example, in May 2024, Heineken France introduced Project Circle, an initiative designed to enhance circularity in their brewery operations while cutting carbon emissions. The project separates the solid brewers' spent grain residue into fibers and proteins. The proteins are refined for potential use in food products, and the fibers are converted into renewable energy. The pilot phase aims to reduce scope 1 thermal energy emissions by 50%, contributing to Heineken's target of achieving net zero scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and net zero across its entire value chain by 2040. By establishing a closed-loop system, Project Circle supports the circular economy and helps decarbonize brewing processes.
