[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] OB Beer announced on the 11th that on the 10th, it delivered support gifts to medical staff who are fighting hard against COVID-19 prevention amid the heatwave, in collaboration with the food upcycling startup Reharvest.

OB Beer and Reharvest provided 2,240 bottles of water (500ml each) and 224 boxes of Reenergy Bars worth approximately 5 million KRW to screening clinics at four district health centers in Suwon City, Gyeonggi Province, through the nonprofit organization Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association.

This support was prepared to encourage medical staff at screening clinics who are working tirelessly in protective suits for the health and safety of the public despite the scorching heat. The bottled water and Reenergy Bars will be delivered to medical staff and volunteers working at the screening clinics in Jangangu, Gwonsungu, Paldalgu, and Yeongtonggu districts of Suwon City.

An OB Beer official said, "We delivered refreshing bottled water and high-protein snacks, ‘Reenergy Bars,’ to express our gratitude for the hard work of medical staff enduring difficult times due to the resurgence of COVID-19 and the heatwave. As a member of the local community, we will continue to contribute to overcoming the COVID-19 crisis."

'Reenergy Bar' is a high-protein energy bar made by upcycling beer lees. ‘Beer lees’ are byproducts naturally generated during the beer brewing process, rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making them highly valuable as food ingredients.

Reharvest is a food upcycling specialized startup that signed a win-win cooperation agreement with OB Beer at the end of last year and is jointly developing various food products using beer byproducts.
