LOVELAND, CO— Root Shoot Malting is proud to announce the first-ever Craft Malt Day, designated by the Craft Maltsters Guild. This day will go down in history as a celebration of everyone that supports the craft malt industry.
Root Shoot spent this day in history in the field harvesting corn before steins of Liebesland Helles, a collaboration between all 10 Loveland breweries made with 100 percent Root Shoot grains, at the Loveland Oktoberfest bash.
“Craft malt celebrates a connection between people. Connection between drinkers, farmers, brewers, and maltsters lets us shed light on an agricultural product that has been brushed aside with the growth of large-scale commodity product availability,” says Mikey Myers of Root Shoot Malting. “Craft malt is more than beer— it’s a commitment to doing it right, and always trying to make it better.”
Since its launch in 2016, Root Shoot has supplied malted barley for more than 200 breweries across Colorado and beyond. That number continues to grow as craft breweries strive to localize their ingredient lists and diversify their flavors.
