Through it all, we continued to grow and gain confidence in the equipment that allowed the New York Craft Malt brand to expand from our original 8 base malts to over 60 specialty malt varieties.

We’ve helped malthouses from Arizona to Kentucky to Maine and beyond increase revenue by adding custom specialty malt to their product list.
