“When the water of a place is bad it is safest to drink none that has not been filtered through either the betty of a grape, or else a tub of malt.
These are the most reliable filters yet invented” -Samuel Butler
MALT It's been said that MALT is the SOUL of BEER, and for a good reason, because without malt, there would not be BEER!
CNC Malt offers a variety of custom and craft malts, all made from locally grown grain varieties, traditionally Floor malted in small batches to meet the customer's needs.
Our grains are sourced locally to ensure the terroir of the region is brought forward in the craft beer and the craft spirits.
Our goal is to continue developing the local supply chain that connects us to the local agriculture, customers and ultimately the consumers. Supporting each other helps us grow sustainable locally adapted grain varieties with distinct flavor that translates in the Final craft beverage that we can all enjoy.
