Feed the world, help the environment and make great beer: beans can really do it all

The new batch of faba bean ale was brewed by Barney's Beer in Edinburgh
"The new brew uses unprocessed whole grains, and will be showcased at several events to mark the International Year of Pulses.

Imagine a crop that you can use to help secure sufficient food for a growing global population, benefit the environment and brew fantastic beer. There is one – several in fact: pulses. The James Hutton Institute has joined forces with Barney’s Beer in Edinburgh and Abertay University in Dundee - through joint PhD student Kirsty Black - to brew a new batch of faba bean ale that follows on the success of “Fe Fi Fo”, last year’s Edinburgh Science Festival official ale.
