Beer & Bugs
Hallowe’en is around the corner... let’s sink our teeth into some creepy-crawlies & guzzle some local brew!
Join us for a BEER & BUGS Pairing at the Victory Café on Hallowe'en night. Brought to you by Alimentary Initiatives, co-host of the Future Food Salon in partnership with Beerology.

TOP FIVE REASONS TO EAT CRICKETS
They are sustainably produced, using less water, less land, producing fewer C02 emissions with a high feed to protein produced ratio.
- They are nutritious. High in protein, omega three fats and iron.
- They are versatile to cook with. Come and see what we mean.
- They are ethically euthanized. Refrigerating and then freezing them slows their metabolism so that they are asleep when you cook them.
- They are found everywhere on the planet, meaning that they do not pose an ecological disaster. They are also capable of being raised in home units.
