September 2024 is the inaugural Craft Malt Month, so get your grain brain amped up with big knowledge on Craft Malt and what it means to Craft Beer!

We have been allied with local malt producers and the Craft Maltsters Guild for many years (looking at you LINC Malts and Mainstem Malt! And missing SVM, RIP) We've been a Craft Malt Certified Brewery since 2020-- so we're keen to share the whys, hows, and wheres on malt because it matters way more deeply than most of us realize.  Even if you don't like "malty beer" you're making an impact on the local economy as well as the ecology of our region with every beer you order-- so come be a part of some of the most impactful conversations about beer that you're likely to have this year.

Spend a half hour on each of the next few Sundays with us for a 'lightning talk' plus a follow-on Q&A session to explore a diverse range of topics centered around Craft Malt… learn more about this most important ingredient in all beer -- you'll never look at, think about, or taste your beer in quite the same way! All of these "Craft Malt Happy Hour" sessions will run from 3-5pm, with the first hour for finding a spot and choosing a beer before the 'main event' from 4-5pm.  We'll have happy hour specials on all of the Craft Malt based beer on our menu (i.e. all of it) plus special deals on the Craft Malt beer du jour, all day.

We'll progress through the month with sessions pondering these questions--

What is barley? …and why barley? (8th Sept)

What is malt, exactly? (15th Sept)

Why no Craft Beer without Craft Malt? (22nd Sept)

What’s in the future for Craft Malt, and for Craft Beer? (29th Sept)

We’ll work in hands-on activities and demonstrations and at least one special malt tasting event during the month… more info on each session posted as they get nearer…
