What do you do with too much bread? At The Playtrail, you make a difference.

When their Community Fridge ended up with a surplus of bread, the team, led by Mark and Rachel, wanted to do something more impactful than just feeding the local horses. Supported by a grant from Hubbub, the young adults at The Playtrail got to work transforming leftover loaves into breadcrumbs.

The experts at Walled City Brewery then worked their magic, brewing those crumbs into a crisp, refreshing golden ale.

Why This Matters

This project is a perfect example of the circular economy in action:

  • Tackling Waste: Turning surplus bread into a premium local product.

  • Giving Back: For every pint of Crumbs sold, £1 is donated to the Foyle Foodbank.

  • Empowerment: Highlighting the incredible creativity of the young adults at The Playtrail.

Cheers to the Team!

A huge thank you to Rachel, Mark, and the entire Playtrail team for hosting such a fantastic launch event. We are so inspired by your creativity and cannot wait to see what you “brew up” next.
