Toast Brewing's whole premise is waste reduction: they brew with surplus bread from bakeries and food production, diverting it from landfill into the mash. Changing Tides is their low-alcohol lager and uses their Companion® Surplus Bread malt alongside Pilsner malt, which gives it a slightly more characterful base than a standard lager malt bill would. The hops are Challenger and Sovereign, both English varieties that bring herbal, spicy, and citrus qualities. The result is a lager with a bit more going on than the mass-produced category average: light grain, lemony citrus, soft spice, and a dry edge in the finish. The carbonation is crisp and the body is light, as expected at 0.5%. It picked up an award at the London Beer Competition, and it is gluten free and vegan. For a sustainability-focused brewery, the quality holds up well against peers who do not have the same constraints. Available in cans.
