Cheese whey turned into a beer

Circular Economy Week

As a residual product of cheese, cheese whey does not currently have a good sustainable use. But if you look at it closely, there are certainly circular applications for cheese whey. Cheese whey from the Green Heart can be processed into a genuine Gouda beer. Through cooperation – even outside the chain – circular solutions are created. Listen to Jaap Schep and Eva Rademaker. As self-chewing farmers, they tell why it is important to find a circular application for their cheese whey. Ramon Lukkien of De Nieuwe Brouwerij in Gouda explains what he produces and how his idea for beer from whey came about.’
