Chuck Schumer calls on FDA to drop spent grain proposal

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Sen. Charles Schumer will be at a western New York brewery to call on the federal government to drop a proposal that has the nation’s craft beer brewers up in arms.

Schumer will be at the Rohrbach (ROR’-bahk) Brewing Co. brewery in Rochester on Monday to call on the Food and Drug Administration to ditch a proposal he says will make it too expensive for brewers to recycle spent grain by providing it to dairy farmers.
