All About Beer AAB 068: The Chitty Business of Local Malt
Usually maltsters sell big bags of different grains to breweries and that’s it, right? But when using smaller maltsters, perhaps can there be more of a collaborative process? How do smaller, more local maltsters work with their local breweries to help meet their goals, needs and make sure they have everything they need? What are the benefits of having your maltster nearby or on speed dial? Are there any challenges to breweries just using local malt as well? Today on the All About Beer podcast, we talk to a local maltster in Massachusetts who showcases their client’s breweries in a taproom next to the malthouse. We also talk to a New Jersey based small maltster and one of their brewing partners about how they work together in a changing beer landscape.
