Pale Malt

We are a Midwest malt house focused on genuine relationships in offering quality, locally produced, traceable malt to craft brewers in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

A partnership with Maltwerks means brewers work side-by-side with their maltster to produce the exact malt they need. This creates a much larger palette of flavors to work with when fine-tuning ales in an increasingly competitive market.

Large, corporate malt providers won’t give you the details of the exact cultivars of barley used to make their malt blends, or specific growing location. Maltwerks maintains close relationships with local farmers, so brewers know exactly what barley was used and the characteristics they can expect on a molecular level. This means fewer surprises in brews, better consistency, and less product and investment going down the drain.

Maltwerks is also a partner in globally sourced commodities. Pairing additional grains, spices, and botanicals with customized, premium malt allows brewers to expand the diversity in their craft beer and differentiate from competition.

Once used as a blender for black pepper and banned from import. The spice is native to West Africa, and was used to flavor food during medieval times. It has a peppery zing, with notes of citrus and earthy pine.
