边看边答 How far back does the tradition of making beer out of bread go?
Stale bread. Every year it's estimated that Austria throws away enough bread to feed over a million people. But the leftover bread at this shop isn't destined for the bin. It's being made into beer - part of efforts to prevent food waste.
不新鲜的面包。据估计，奥地利人每年扔掉的面包够养活一百多万人。但这家店卖剩下的面包不会被丢到垃圾箱，而是被用来酿造啤酒，这正是酿酒者为防止食物浪费所做的努力。
Tobias Judmaier, food activist
In our little shop that we have in Vienna, we have each day a couple of buns left over which, as such is not a problem. But if you look at it - throughout the month, you'll realise it accumulates and what else could you do with this leftover bread? So we started getting creative and thought of beer.
