The Craft Malt Revolution.

HOME

A grassroots movement in today’s malting industry. Small-batch, independent maltsters are coming together, in a rising tide to bring heart, diversity, relocalization, and excitement to the marketplace.

This is Craft Malt.

Join the craft malt revolution.

The tractors are heading for the barn. The silos are full with harvest’s bounty. Our maltsters go to work crafting unique flavors from these grains. Our brewing and distilling partners take over from there.

Join us for the inaugural Craft Malt Day on September 13th, 2019 at your local malthouse, brewery, or distillery. We’ll raise a glass to the efforts of all those involved in bringing locally-sourced grain, malt, beers, and spirits to you. We are also planning a special announcement for the evening!

The harvest moon sits high in the evening sky and we look towards the autumnal equinox. Our focus is on the harvest. The success or failure of this crucial period will define the months ahead for both maltster and brewer.

We invite you to celebrate the inaugural Craft Malt Day on September 13, 2019 with your local malt house, brewery, or distillery. We’ll raise a glass to the efforts of all those involved in bringing locally-sourced grain, malt, beers, and spirits to you. Stay tuned for a list of participating establishments. We are also planning a special announcement for the evening!

Spring Barley planting is nearly upon us. Nothing is so promising as the sight tender, green shoots breaking through dark, rich soil. It will be awhile yet until we are rewarded with visions of new life, so until then we will set our sights on the task at hand and prepare to plant.

"People should feel lucky and proud to support and consume products that are produced locally. This ideal starts with a healthy agriculture industry. We as brewers are lucky to have two craft malting houses in our home state and feel privileged to brew beers with grain and malted grain from Maine. Beer drinkers should know that by buying beer that uses local grain they are supporting the foundation of their local economy." Michael Fava, Head Brewer, @oxbowbrewingcompany

The idea of agritourism is one that we share with so many wonderful segments of the industry; flower farms, wineries, apiaries, orchards, dairy farms, coffee and cocoa farms, and the list goes on and on and on. We consider ourselves lucky to be part of a large group of individuals who have chosen to be good stewards of our most precious resources. Whenever and wherever you can, visit and learn about the agritourism in your area.
