During the pandemic, I ventured on foot to my former Long Island city neighborhood. This former industrial stretch of Queens is now a hipster neighborhood. The bad side? Rising rents. The good side, several breweries offering delicious beers including Fifth Hammer Brewing and Rockaway Brewing Company.

This discovery piqued my interest to see if either brewery would sell me any of their spent grains, great to use for baking bread for beer dough. It turned out that both offered me enough to make several bags. Now I just have to turn them into bread.
