INTRODUCTION TO Our MALT

We produce a variety of malts as well as flaked and heirloom grains for our customers.

Each batch is processed on site in our malt house. Once a tobacco warehouse, this modern facility enables our skilled and knowledgeable maltster to create single-batch craft malt through precise, efficient computerized monitoring of the multi-day, multi-step process.

OUR SPECIALTY MALTS

Growing our own grains enables us to hand-craft every facet of our custom malts. We love working with customers to develop specialty malts to fit their needs. We also grow and sell raw heirloom grains upon request.
