2-Row Barley

2-row barley is a recent addition to our portfolio. We currently work with Violetta and Calypso for our 2-row malts. We are in the process of testing Flavia and Scala. Each of these barley varieties has a distinct flavor profile and unique agronomic traits.

6-Row Barley

We’ve worked with Thoroughbred Barley since we started in 2010. Originally developed by Virginia Tech, it has been successfully grown for many years. The unique grainy, sweet flavor is utilized in farmhouse ale programs throughout the South.

Rye

We’ve been working with an heirloom rye variety called Wrens Abruzzi since 2011. This variety has traceable origins back to 12th-century Abruzzi monks in Italy. The finished malt produces a unique, spicy character with a hint of citrus oil in the finish.

Wheat

We work with a modern variety of wheat called Viper. After years of chasing heirlooms, we decided to focus on this variety because it offers superior disease resistance and good yields for our farm partners. It has also received high marks from the artisan bread-baking community around Asheville. Our brewers and distillers love it for its sweet, earthy flavor and high extract levels.

Corn

We work with a variety of farmers across the Southeast to source our diverse portfolio of corn malt. From the purple-hued Bloody Butcher, to Tennessee-grown Cumberland Corn and Virginia-grown Hickory King Corn, all of these malt styles boast unique colors and flavors.

Other

We are always experimenting with new malt styles, including Spelt and Speakeasy malt for distillers.
