Variety matters, all grain brewers are entitled to demand more from their malt. More flavour, more consistent brewing performance and more flavour stability are all possible by choosing a variety bred for craft brewing.
Craft Malsters, like Red Shed Malting, are developing new products to make more beer styles possible out of only Canadian Ingredients.
