The third annual Craft Malt Week will take place September 11-17, 2022. This week-long event highlights the deep and meaningful connection between local agriculture and craft beverage through special events and social media spotlights. Maltsters, farmers, brewers, distillers, and craft malt enthusiasts are invited to join in on this yearly celebration of local grains. Here are five ways to get involved in #CraftMaltWeek2022.
Make A Beer or a Cocktail
Craft a beer recipe or a cocktail to showcase craft malt on your menu during Craft Malt Week.
Host an (Online) Event
In past years, maltsters have offered virtual and in-person tours, planned tap takeovers and special beer tappings with their brewery partners, and hosted craft malt education events in their facilities. The possibilities are endless!
Watch these virtual malthouse tours from our friends at Admiral Maltings, West Branch Malts & Distillery, and Maltwerks for inspiration. Then, submit your Craft Malt Week events on our online event calendar to be featured.
