    I just had a small batch (about 250l of a bad oaked stout) distilled in a nearby distillery in Switzerland. The beer was carbonated, about 6.8% abv, and had finished fermenting at 5.5P. The resulting eau-de-vie is really nice. We will bottle and sell them and will be able to recover the cost of the distillation and packaging.

    There are also lots of distilleries making hand sanitizer, maybe they could use it for that.
    I have to second this for sure. It's hard enough to have to get rid of any product. That's time, effort, and money. Best to contact a place that may pay you a bit for something you have to get rid of anyhow.

    bad beer to distillery

    We have about 20bbls bad beer to dump. Does anyone know if it makes financial sense for any distillery to consider processing a carbonated, fined, but unfiltered, free,1.5-3.5Plato FG, 7%, beer?
