Have Your Beer and Eat It Too
E6PR (“Edible 6 Pack Rings”) has been testing the yoke, which is made from processed wheat and barley, with a small group of craft micro-breweries though Saltwater Brewery has taken the lead in promoting the product. In January 2018, southern Florida grocery stores including Publix, Whole Foods and ABC Liquors began offering Saltwater Brewery six-packs bound with edible yokes. The image above, uploaded to Brown Distributing’s Twitter account on January 26th, 2018 features an impressive display of Saltwater Brewery beer bound with “environmental 6 pack rings.”
“Together, we can all be advocates for a clean and safe environment,” states Saltwater Brewery’s co-founder and president, Chris Gove, at CraftBeer.com. “Our goal is to transition all of the packaging in our facility to this six-pack ring alternative that goes beyond recycling and strives to achieve zero waste.” We’ll drink to that!
