Brew Bites USA, a Tucson business, is turning spent grain from breweries into nutritious treats for animals. This recipe not only supports local breweries but also provides a sustainable solution for brewery waste.

Ty Young, founder of Brew Bites USA, explained the benefits of using spent grain.

“Spent grain adds a lot of fiber, and that’s very good for animals. It’s a good filler as well,” he said.

In addition to spent grain, Brew Bites USA also uses healthy hemp extracts.

“We take the good stuff from the hemp plants, CBD and other beneficial compounds, and provide that for anxiety issues, pain issues, especially separation anxiety,” Young said.

The treats also have flexible CBD dosages so dogs of all sizes can enjoy them, “All of our treats are one size, but dogs aren’t. So, we keep the CBD separate and let our customers determine their own dosage,” Young said.
