SUMMARY:Copperworks American Single Malt\, Single Cask No. 442 Release
DESCRIPTION:From September 22-29\, 2023\, Copperworks Distilling is celebrating Craft Malt Week! To commemorate the occasion\, they have a new special release: Copperworks American Single Malt Whiskey\, Single Cask No. 442 \nThis single cask was crafted from the Genie barley varietal grown in Reardan\, Washington\, by Coulee Hite Enterprises\, and malted less than an hour away in Spokane Valley\, Washington by LINC Malt\, a Craft Maltsters Guild member malthouse. The rest of the process (brewing\, fermentation\, distillation\, and maturation) took place in Seattle. This new American Oak cask matured for just over three years before being bottled at cask strength. 60.3% ABV. \nTasting notes: Tangerine\, damp pine forest\, custard and a familiar chewy lingonberry candy on the nose. Sweet orange\, matcha\, vanilla\, oak\, butter mints\, and bubblegum are harmonious on the palate. The finish is long and sweet with the butter mints fading into wintergreen and rounding out with a touch of grass and red berry jam on toast.

SUMMARY:[Member Webinar] The Mysteries Behind Malt Modification
DESCRIPTION:The word “modification” is in a maltster’s vocabulary on a daily basis. In simple numbers\, we interpret the malt certificate of analysis (CoA) and look at total/soluble nitrogen ratio\, wort beta-glucan\, friability\, fine/coarse difference\, and maybe diastatic power. But those numbers don’t really describe the full story of modification\, from cell wall hydrolysis to storage protein breakdown and release of bound proteins\, to the early attacks in starch granules… all driven by enzymes. In this webinar\, the deeper science behind endosperm modification will be explored. Finally\, some challenges will be presented on how the industry deals with future grain quality and making more malt with fewer inputs.⁠ \nSpeaker\nDr. Glen Fox is the Anheuser-Busch Endowed Professor of Malting and Brewing Science at the University of California\, Davis campus. His roles include teaching undergraduate brewing courses\, as well as conducting research with graduate students. His current research focus is on cereal starch structure and its impact on wort quality\, fermentation efficiency\, and beer quality. Prior to joining UC Davis\, he was a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Queensland’s Centre for Nutrition and Food Science in Australia from 2010 to 2019. In 2018\, he was made a Fellow of the Institute of Brewing and Distilling for his research contribution to the malting and brewing industries. Dr. Fox was part of the team that wrote the new syllabus for the Institute of Brewing and Distilling Certificate in Malting course. He has over 100 peer-reviewed book chapters and journal articles and was the senior editor of the recent book “Achieving sustainable cultivation of barley.” \nRegistration\nRegistration is free for Craft Maltsters Guild members and $20 for non-Craft Maltsters Guild members. \nREGISTER NOW\nWebinars take place using Zoom\, a web-based platform. Access to high-speed internet is necessary to fully participate – and a headset with a microphone is recommended. A confirmation email containing Zoom Meeting details will be sent to you after you’ve registered. \nHave questions?

SUMMARY:[Member Webinar] Creating a Modern Heirloom Variety
DESCRIPTION:The term “heirloom barley variety” resonates with many brewers\, conjuring visions of unique beer flavors and aromas. Maris Otter is one such heirloom. A child of ‘66\, it challenges the definition of “heirloom”\, and its reputed properties are inextricably bound with terroir (it can legally be grown only under contract in England) and process (floor malting). Maltsters and farmers may not embrace the heirloom idea as wholeheartedly as brewers – unless compensated for yield penalties and process challenges. In this panel discussion\, we will describe our voyage toward creating a modern heirloom variety – the New World Otter Lontra. Panelists will share perspectives on barley and climate change\, ongoing beer sensory analyses\, pneumatic malting vs. floor malting\, and prospects for commercialization of the variety. We will leave ample time for questions and discussion. \nSpeakers\nDr. Patrick Hayes is a Professor at Oregon State University. His research team focuses on barley – in its many forms and uses. Current research areas include the development of winter and facultative habit malting barley varieties; the many facets of winter hardiness; dissection of quantitative disease resistance; characterization and utilization of genetic diversity; stimulating local barley production; development of multi-use naked barley for organic and conventional systems; exploring the contributions of barley genotype to beer flavor; and barley quality assessment. The OSU Barley Project has released 21 varieties/germplasms\, developed 24 mapping populations/panels\, distributed approximately 22 metric tons of barley seed\, published 175 papers in refereed journals\, and authored 13 book chapters. He has taught Plant Genetics to approximately 1\,400 students: most graduate with a keen appreciation for the complexity and power of genetics. He has served as Major Professor/co-Major Professor for 36 graduate students\, mentored 11 post-docs\, and hosted 24 visiting scientists from 15 countries. \nCampbell Morrissy has been in the brewing and distilling industry since 2011\, working in facilities ranging from a small mountain town brewpub to a nationally distributed craft whiskey distillery\, and currently as the Head Brewer at pFriem Family Brewers in Hood River\, Oregon. Simultaneously he is a Ph.D. Candidate at Oregon State University under Dr. Pat Hayes in the Barley World lab. His research focuses on barley genotype contribution to malt quality and malt and beer flavor. He is passionate about continuing education and is active with the Brewers Association the Master Brewers Association of the Americas. \nScott Fisk is a Senior Faculty Research Assistant with the Oregon State University Barley Breeding Program. As the research maltster and manager of all field-based operations he is involved in all aspects of the program including disease resistance\, winter hardiness\, and end-use quality\, all with the end goal of developing better barley for better beer and spirits. \n  \n  \nDarrin Culp is Superintendent of Agriculture at the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources Intermountain Research and Extension Center (IREC) in Tulelake\, CA.  In the past two decades\, irrigation water has become a major source of contention in the Klamath Basin.  IREC has conducted numerous studies related to farming in drier conditions but is still considered an ideal location for research related to irrigated fields and vegetable crops produced in Intermountain Region.  Annually\, the center conducts around 50 research trials related to small grains\, alfalfa\, grass hay\, potatoes\, onions\, and peppermint.  His job as superintendent is to carry out the day-to-day management of these trials by planting\, applying treatments\, harvesting\, and collecting data requested by the various researchers who have trials at IREC.  Recently\, mild winter conditions have contributed to less snowpack and limited irrigation water availability has become the new normal.  Winter grains have gained a lot of interest among basin producers since they can more readily capture winter moisture compared to spring grain types.  The Klamath Basin has a long history of producing high-quality malting barley and these factors may lead to winter barley becoming a more prominent fixture in the landscape.        \nCurtis Davenport co-founded Admiral Maltings in 2017 with Ron Silberstein and Dave McLean and is Admiral’s Head Maltster. Prior to opening Admiral\, Curtis grew organic fruits\, vegetables\, barley\, and wheat in Santa Barbara County\, CA. Curtis began floor malting inside a converted shipping container in 2013 and has been a member of the Craft Maltster’s Guild ever since. Curtis and his wife\, Maddie\, live in Oakland\, where they like to ride bikes\, make wine\, and eat pizza with friends. \nRegistration\nRegistration is free for Craft Maltsters Guild members & $20 for non-Craft Maltsters Guild members. \nREGISTER NOW\nWebinars take place using Zoom\, a web-based platform.

SUMMARY:Near Beer\, A Celebration of Place
DESCRIPTION:The Farm to Table movement is alive and well in the beverage industry as breweries with hyper-local ethos are popping up around the country. This event is a celebration of some of those breweries who are inspired by place. \nCome taste those places at Near Beer at Harding House Brewing Company in The Nations neighborhood of West Nashville during the Craft Brewers Conference on Tuesday\, May 9 from 5 to 10 PM Central Time. The breweries pouring include Scratch Brewing Company from Ava\, Illinois\, Fonta Flora Brewing from Nebo\, North Carolina\, Fullsteam Brewery from Durham\, North Carolina\, and Free Range Brewing from Charlotte\, North Carolina. Most of the breweries participating are Craft Malt Certified™\, some of them grow their own ingredients\, and all of them engage with nearby farms to source their recipes. \n“Our unofficial industry tagline is buy local\, but craft breweries don’t always do that themselves\,” says the Co-Founder of Harding House Nate Underwood\, who spearheaded Near Beer. “We wanted to celebrate and hang out with those breweries who walk the walk. Purchasing local agricultural ingredients isn’t always easy or inexpensive\, so we’ve got to stick together. Using local malt\, hops\, and ingredients is what makes craft beer fun\, flavorful\, and diverse.” \nNear Beer is open to the public\, and CBC ticket holders will receive beer discounts. \nMedia interested in credentials for this event can contact Emily Hutto at hutto@radcraftbeer.com.

SUMMARY:Southern Lager Invitational
DESCRIPTION:Bootleg Biology\, Harding House Brewing Co.\, and Riverbend Malt House have engaged the South’s leading tastemakers to craft their expressions of ‘Modern Southern Lager’ to kickoff the Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) on Sunday\, May 7 at Harding House Brewing Company in The Nations neighborhood of West Nashville. \nSo what is a Modern Southern Lager? Open to interpretation\, this unofficial beer style tends to be a dry-finishing\, lower-ABV beer with a big frothy head and a hint of corn sweetness that is counterbalanced by relatively assertive hop bitterness. It pairs well with sweltering heat. \nHarding House\, a Craft Malt Certified™ brewery\, and several other craft breweries in the South are currently fermenting lagers made with Riverbend malt and unique yeast strains from Bootleg Biology— including ARL: The Southern Lager Yeast— to serve at this innovative beer showcase. \nThe Southern Lager Invitational will take place on Sunday\, May 7 at Harding House Brewing Co. from 7 to 10 pm Central Time. All CBC participants get free entry with proof of conference participation. This inaugural event is made possible by sponsors Boelter\, who are providing custom glassware for all participants\, and Dynamark. Bad Luck Burger Club will be slinging their famous smash burgers. Frothy Monkey Bakery will bring breads to taste made from spent Southern Lager grain.

SUMMARY:BA Collab Hour: Exploring Regional Grain Sourcing
DESCRIPTION:Beer is an agricultural product with many traditions and styles born out of the availability of locally grown ingredients. Today’s brewing supply chains operate at a much different scale\, but developments in craft malting infrastructure\, and the need for diversified and resilient cropland\, offers an opportunity for reconnecting regional grain farmers\, maltsters\, and brewers. This BA Collab Hour webinar will explore the potential of regionalizing a portion of a brewery’s grain supply\, and the benefits this could have to local agricultural communities\, minimizing environmental impact\, and differentiating products in a crowded marketplace. \nSpeakers\n\nJohn Clarke – Brewing & Distilling Coordinator\, Artisan Grain Collaborative\nDr. Kevin Smith – Professor\, University of Minnesota Dept of Agronomy and Plant Genetics\nJesse Bussard – Executive Director\, Craft Maltsters Guild\nJessica Jones – Co-Owner/Brewer\, Giant Jones Brewing\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:[Member Webinar] Lessons Learned and Trends for 2023 Logistics
DESCRIPTION:2022 posed some interesting challenges and changes in the freight and logistics industry. Join the Guild for a panel discussion with Adrian Gram and Brandon Arnold of Brew Movers to learn about the new “State of Freight” for LTL and Truckload operations and how the 2023 outlook for freight capacity and rates may look in the coming year. Maltster and brewer insights from Twila Soles of Grouse Malt House and Chris Tropeano of Resident Culture Brewing will also be shared. \nSpeakers\nPictured left to right: Adrian Gram and Brandon Arnold\nBorn in Cleveland\, OH and now residing in Ontario\, Canada\, Brandon Arnold spent his early career in logistics working for some of the biggest players in the industry like CH Robinson in Chicago\, IL\, and XPO Logistics in Charlotte\, NC. On the side\, he purchased a truck and ran his own logistics company\, moving general commodities across the United States. \nAdrian Gram spent over a decade leading operations and sales efforts for a Fortune and S&P 500 company before shifting gears to entrepreneurship and investing. He grew up in Buffalo\, NY\, and now lives with his family in Charlotte\, NC\, where he and Brandon met and bonded over their love for craft beer and entrepreneurship. \nThey launched their first company together\, Hatch Transportation\, in 2014 with a fleet of trucks. Several years later\, they founded Brew Movers in 2018. From first shipping beer to festivals and distros\, Brew Movers now supports the Craft Beverage community from grain to glass. Supporting over 3\,500 breweries across North America and Internationally. \nTwila Soles is Maltstress and CEO of Grouse Malt House. Twila earned an undergraduate degree in Nutrition from Miami University and a Master’s degree in Food Science & Food Safety from Colorado State University. For graduate studies\, she focused on malting and brewing science and bioactive and probiotic compounds. A passion for craft beer and a gluten intolerance challenged her to experiment malting and brewing with gluten-free grains as a student. She founded Grouse Malt House in 2013\, a craft malting company dedicated to supplying gluten-free ingredients to the craft brewing industry. Twila is also a Founding Board Member of the North American Craft Maltster’s Guild. \nChris Tropeano co-founded Resident Culture Brewing in Charlotte\, NC in 2017 with his partners Phillip and Amanda McLamb. He got his start brewing at Independence Brewing Company in Austin\, TX in 2012 where he worked in packaging and cellar. In 2014\, he moved to Santa Rosa\, CA to work at Russian River Brewing Company where he quickly moved from cellar into a pub brewer position handling all aspects of the brewing process. As the founding brewer and co-owner at Resident Culture\, his focus has been on the production of precise lagers\, hop-forward IPAs\, spontaneous and mixed culture ales\, and barrel-aged stouts. The brewery is currently brewing about 4\,000 BBLs with plans for new product lines and significant growth in 2023. \nRegistration\nRegistration is free for Craft Maltsters Guild members & $20 for non-Craft Maltsters Guild members. \nREGISTER NOW\nWebinars take place using Zoom\, a web-based platform.
