Introducing Ridgeline Red Malt

New Ridgeline Red Malt Is Here!

In response to our brewing customers’ requests for a red-hued malt option with versatile usage opportunities across ale and lager styles, Riverbend Malt House presents Ridgeline Red malt. 

Fresh off the kiln and now available for purchase, this new malt opens with an inviting aroma of toasted grains, bread crust, and rich honey before shifting into a complex layer of figs and raisins. It closes with a palate-cleansing loose leaf tea finish. Great for red ales and lagers of all kinds, Ridgeline Red can be used for up to 100% of the grain bill, yielding brilliant amber color.

The Brewers Have Spoken

After recent trials, here’s what these brewers across the Southeast had to say about Ridgeline Red: 

“It worked great as a base malt and was on par with the efficiency of Riverbend pilsner in my brewhouse. The pH was lower than I anticipated though— good to expect and adjust in the mash.” — Mark Goodwin, Cellarest Beer Project 

“Thanks for trusting us to pilot some of this new malt. I think the beer and color are awesome!” — Jason Ford, NOFO Brew Co. 

“We made our Holler Atcha West Coast IPA with Ridgeline Red; it looks and tastes exactly as it should!” — Ray Dobens, Salt Face Mule Brewing Co.
