From the delicate flavors of Pale Ale, Vienna & Munich malts to the strong flavors of chocolate malt & roasted barley, specialty malts give beer much of its color, aroma & flavor. Our team works to create and perfect these flavorful ingredients that become the soul of your beer!

On samples that we retain, we put them through the "splitter" which splits them into two representative samples, one which we use for testing, the other we retain in case there are any quality questions down the line.

Each of our two malthouses operates a continuous coil roaster, allowing us to produce a full range of colors and flavors using barley, wheat and rye.
Another test that we run at the plant is for proteins and moisture, which we use the Foss for!

Nothing like finishing a long hard day of brewing by drinking a nice cold beer made with Proximity Malt and taking a little siesta on our malt bags! 🍻 🛌 😴 Thanks for the pic @turtlemtbrewing!

Wheat Malt can be used in a variety of styles including Hefeweizens (more to follow), Witbiers and if you just want a little bit of foam retention. This malt has flour or dough-like characteristics and is creamy is well. It provides good foam & head retention when used.

Pilsen Malt – versatile and all around delicious. As a base malt, it really does work in everything, especially where you want a clean, malty flavor to shine through.

We use all sorts of equipment at our in-house laboratory but there are a few we absolutely couldn't live without. Bobbie Jo is here to tell you all about those and why they are so critical to us as a malt company!

You've probably heard of Winter Barley, but what exactly does that mean? Zach Gaines answers that very question for us on today's episode of that Malt Minute!

Something a little different... but a good kind of different. 😍 This Junction City Whiskey from @3riversbrewery features our Pale Ale Malt and we are dying to get a sip. 🥃

A couple weeks ago our East Region Sales Director, Eric Keller, stopped in at @eventidebrewing in Atlanta. The beer pictured is a 100% PXM Pilsner. Perfect color and coming in at 5.5% ABV!

Just another look into what happens in our Milwaukee Innovation Lab. Today we're sorting our malt to determine the plumpness for our Certificate of Analysis!

A little extra green for the week of St. Patrick's Day! How beautiful is this Winter barley? Feels good to see new growth and green in the fields; a reminder that spring isn't that far away! 🌱 🌾
