Local malter supplies key ingredients for award winning beers
To brew great beer you need great ingredients. And that’s exactly what a local malt supplier is doing.
Red Shed Malting is celebrating the fact that their products were used in several local brews recognized during last week’s announcement of the 2020 Alberta Beer Awards.
“To get recognition from the industry is a real big honour, we’re super excited about it,” says Matt Hamill, one of five family members behind the Penhold area business. “There are lots of those beers that have our malt in it so we got to cheer a lot of times for a lot of our friends. Even beers and breweries that didn’t have our malts, it was great to see them have some success and celebration across the industry.”
Hamill, whose family has been growing barley since 1929, says having their malt used in so many award winning beers is huge for what they do.
