General Info:
Spent grain is a byproduct of the beer brewing process. Spent grain is a byproduct of the beer brewing process in which sugars and starches are extracted from the grain during the mashing process. The “spent” grain is then removed and typically discarded. But wait – spent grain still has a lot of nutritional value and dogs LOVE it! Spent barley, used in the beer brewing process, is a concentrated source of nutrition, high in vitamins (particularly niacin and thiamin), high in fiber and protein, yet very low in fat. Not only do these treats smell amazing and taste awesome but they have health benefits for your canine friend. These delicious, crunchy beer grain treats won't get your dog drunk - but they will get him buzzing with excitement! We make our treats by hand, in small batches, using simple ingredients including fresh brewers’ grain and fresh local eggs. Our treats are slow baked to the perfect crunch which ensures a long shelf life and cleans your pup’s teeth. These treats are excellent for training since dogs go crazy for them, the reason we call them ‘crack for dogs’! Our treats do not contain soy, hops, xylitol or preservatives. Each batch is taste tested by our quality control team, Toby, Grizzly & Violet. We ventured into home brewing during the winter of 2014, we threw out our first batch of spent grains and I felt that was wasteful so I did some research and found a recipe for dog treats and since we have three dogs, and are particular about what we feed them due to all of the recalls we gave it a shot. Our dogs went crazy for them so we shared some with friends and family to give to their dogs, all dogs gave them a 2 paws up! We started off selling them at local events and the feedback was overwhelming. Since our launch in May 2014, we no longer homebrew but obtain our spent grain from breweries all over NY & PA, we have partnered with the breweries to help with recycling their spent grains and also offering their customers a product made with their own house grains. info@beergraintreats.com www.beergraintreats.com We give a portion of our proceeds to a selected area rescue each month.
