Cacaofruit beer is crafted by integrating the Upcycled Certified cacaofruit ingredients into the beer-making process. Traditionally 70% of the cacaofruit was thrown away after the seeds (or better known as the cocoa beans) were harvested. Thanks to the upcycled revolution, the complete cacaofruit is now crafted into 100% pure and Upcycled Certified ingredients. This certification empowers brands and artisans to communicate about their efforts to prevent food waste and fight climate change.

Forward-thinking brewers have embraced the delicious cacaofruit ingredients, extracting its natural sweetness and nuanced zesty notes to infuse a distinct character into their brews. The result is a beverage that pushes the boundaries of traditional beer-making, offering a new and exciting dimension to the craft beer landscape.
