Incredible Surplus

Incredible Surplus Formerly known as The Real Junk Food Project Birmingham. We intercept waste food and other surplus

Incredible Surplus has been operating since October 2014 under the name The Real Junk Food Project Birmingham, and serves thousands of people each year. The project aims to intercept food and other items that would otherwise go to waste and redistribute for all on a "Pay-As-You-Feel" basis. In 2020 we decided to move away from the 'Junk Food' label as it was frequently misunderstood, and didn't ad

equately describe all our activities. We don't just do burgers, we also have healthy food, we grow our own at allotments and grow sites, and rescue all sorts of non-food items too! The "Pay-As-You-Feel" ( ) concept
PAYF offers an alternative to conventional payment systems. People can pay for what they receive by donating their cash, time, or skills to the project. By making people think about what they wish to contribute we aim to force society as a whole to think about how they value these resources. The Pay-As-You-Feel concept is an essential part of the project, as everything we do has value and there is value in everything.

10 years ago, Paul left his banking career with a little bit of voluntary redundancy and waved goodbye to the lot on some shiny stainless brew kit.

Actually, it was a bit rough and ready but you get the gist…

Over the years we’ve steadily grown, adding capacity and some absolutely kick ass
team members πŸ•Ί

We’ve shed a few tears over split beer, Covid, upscaling to bigger kit, etc. But we’ve
also had lots of happy moments; winning awards, seeing our beers in awesome
venues, coeliac customers telling you they can drink beer on draught again because Brummie beer is all GF. ❀

Personally, we’ve got hitched and welcomed two wonderful kids to our family with
the chaos that comes with it. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦

This month has become another one of those life changing moments, we’ve opened up Brum Brewery to ownership to those who back it. πŸ’“

This is your chance to be part of it.

Brummie beer love,
Paul and Charlotte
