Janine

Janine is a bakery and brewery that aims to reintroduce the residues of each activity into its production cycle: breads from spent grains and brewer's yeast & beers from unsold bread, all in an artisanal and local approach.

Over the first 3 years of their activity, they have reintegrated 2 tons of bread into their beers (and therefore 2 tons of malt that have not been used during their brewing in 3 years) and 6 tons of spent grain in their breads. This is equivalent to: 1 beer of 33 cl = 2 slices of bread and 1 loaf = spent grain of 2 beers of 33 cl.

Anecdote: Janine is the first name of Maxime and Bertrand's grandmother (2 of the founders) which represents for them memories of good food, conviviality, generosity, good smells... that they want to reflect in their bakery and brewery. Morane, (the 3rd founder) is the head brewer at Janine.
