DUESSELDORF, Germany (AP) — With restaurants and bars all closed due to pandemic restrictions, a Duesseldorf brewery found itself with 6,000 liters (1,585 gallons) of its copper-colored "Altbier" unsold and nearing its expiry date.

But with trying times come novel solutions. Fuechschen Brewery brewery paired up with craft bakers already using leftover grains from the brewing process to produce loaves of "Treberbrot," or "Spent Grain Bread."

I know my local VFW has not had an order for beer since Mar of 2020, and the few taverns that have survived have had trouble getting kegs for a year.

A bread loaf that was baked with beer is displayed in the Coelven bakery in Duesseldorf, Germany, Tuesday, March 23, 2021. About 6,000 litres of the renowned copper-colored 'Altbier' of the historic Fuechschen brewery remain unsold and nearing its expiry date. The brewery now works with craft bakers who use the beer to make bread, with about twelve bakeries producing the grain bread and are giving the additional bonus of a bottle of Fuechschen's Altbier free of charge with every loaf.(AP Photo/Daniel Niemann)

In an incredible coincidence, that looks exactly like my liver after a lifetime of processing ‘surplus beer’...

Alt was my favorite when I was stationed in Germany in the 80’s. Pity I can only drink non-alcoholic beer now.
