Craft Distilling

Creating unique flavors for brewing and distilling.

There is plenty of room in tradition for innovation! We’ve worked with dozens of master brewers and distillers to match the right malt to their desired result, with careful consideration for the variances in flavor afforded by each part of the malt creation process.

A few beverages containing Riverbend malt…

Old Tuffy

New Belgium Brewing Company Old Tuffy Premium Lager

Orange Krush

Wrightsville Beach Brewing Company Orange Krush Kolsch

All Malt

All Malt Bourbon from Weldon Mills Distilling Company.

Blonde Doppelbock

The latest release in their "Local Lager" series features our Vienna, Light Munich, and Hull and Oats for complex and smooth mouthfeel. This is available in 4-packs this Winter throughout the Southeast.

How do I choose the right malt?

We can provide guidance on recipe development and share examples of commercial releases that feature our products in the best way possible. Armed with that information, you can create something distinctive, maybe even your next flagship! Read about malt for craft brewing.

How is malt used for distilling?

Let’s Get Started

Wondering about a few things?

No minimum order. However, the shipping companies charge the same amount to deliver 100 pounds as they do to deliver 2,000.

Orders of 4,000 pounds or less can ship the same day if received before noon.

Yes! We deliver to breweries and distilleries throughout the Asheville area. We utilize several different shipping companies to ensure competitive pricing for our out-of-town customers.

Most breweries in Asheville have a beer on tap that features Riverbend malt – just ask when you order. Riverbend also has 200+ craft brewing and craft distilling customers throughout the Southeast, so you can find us in products from Kentucky to Florida and from the Atlantic to the Mississippi.   Many of our customers display the Riverbend name or logo on their canned and bottled products.

We have a one page account information form to kick off the process. We also require a tax exempt form. After that, we are good to go! Contact us to get started.

Reach out to Brent Manning (brent@riverbendmalt.com) to schedule a consultation. We are usually able to schedule these projects within 2-3 weeks. Find out more about custom malts here.
