In our 150 years, it's fun to look back! 25 years ago, we placed this ad, and our "Maltitude" has not changed.

We STILL focus on 👉Great Selection, Consistency, and Availability

We source barley from American farmers and operate our own malting facilities, ensuring traceability and quality control from field to finished malt. 🇺🇸

And as always, when you need us, we are here.

Just a little Saturday soak 💦

Next, we'll turn up the heat and gently dry things out, locking in all that malty goodness. 🔥✨

Have you heard? 👀 Allagash White from Allagash Brewing Company was inducted into the American Craft Beer Hall of Fame! 🍻

We're honored that Briess Malt has been in every batch of this iconic witbier since day one in 1995. 💛 Congrats to our friends at Allagash on this well-deserved honor and remarkable craft brewing legacy!

It’s official: Allagash White was just inducted into the American Craft Beer Hall of Fame. As part of the second annual class of Landmark Beer inductees, it’s joining beers, and brewer friends, that we deeply respect. Rob himself, back in 1995, wouldn’t believe it if you told him. He had chosen to brew a little-known style of Belgian wheat beer that took nearly ten years to catch on. Now, with more medals than any other wheat beer in the world, and 31 years of dedication to making it the best possible beer it can be, this is an honor that puts a bow on the hard work of our entire team here in Maine and beyond. Cheers to Rob for never wavering in his enthusiasm for the beauty of a well-crafted witbier. And cheers to all of you for enjoying, and sharing our love for, Allagash White.

Join us in remembering one of Briess' most memorable and influential Team Members, Mary Ann Gruber, former Director of Technical Services. ❤️

Mary Ann dedicated 40+ years to Briess and the brewing industry, leaving a lasting impact. From her early days in the lab at Chilton Malting Company to her quality control, new product development, and leadership in technical services, she helped shape the future of craft brewing through innovation, mentorship, and unwavering support for brewers across the country.

🍺She partnered with Charley Papazian to establish the American Microbrewers Association, supporting the craft beer movement in the 1980s.

🔺When red beer became popular in the early 90s, she'd receive more than 100 calls from brewers seeking guidance on Briess caramel malts.

🤲She provided hands-on guidance to brewers, assisting with equipment sourcing + installation, brewer training, and beer formulations.

💧In the early 2000's, she developed Cold Steeping - a technique that continues to influence brewers.

Her legacy lives on through the brewers she mentored, the innovations she pioneered, and the countless friendships she built throughout the industry.

If you have a memory or photo of Mary Ann, we invite you to share in the comments below. 🍻
