MEET OUR MALTS

Using varieties that improve soil and water health

Warthog Wheat, Danko Rye, and European Winter Barley are varieties that have been the backbone of Valley Malt and many award winning beers. They not only grow well but they have excellent flavor and malt quality.

Farms like Oechsner, Mosher, and Morrill Farms continue to keep growing these Northeast proven winners and we keep malting them but we all work together to trial new varieties.

Sourcing 100% of our grain from local farms

Finding excellent winter and spring varieties to grow and malt that serve as rotational crops on farms is critical to the viability of the diversified family farms we work with in the Northeast.

Cover crops, like wheat, barley and rye improve the soil and keep water sources healthier. They also provide long term, stable markets to farms so they can keep growing!

100% reusable or compostable packaging

The overuse of single-use plastics are posing risks to our water and environment and since paper packaging was historically used for malts, we’ve decided to make a commitment to only use 100% reusable or compostable packaging. We hope this shared value of reducing plastics and waste is another reason to choose our malts.
