Calling All Craft Maltsters & Brewers!

Brewers are invited to submit an heirloom beer recipe featuring only 100%
heirloom malts as base malts.

Support adventurous brewers seeking to connect to their brewing heritage with a list of available heirloom and terroir malts. This will help them to develop new beer styles or adapt classic beer styles with heirloom and terroir raw materials, which can be hard to source. This list will be provided to all interested brewers as part of the RMI HEIRLOOM MALT BREWING AWARD.

Add your malt to the list here.
