A Q&A from our friends at Sip Magazine:
“A large part of what makes Pacific Northwest beer and spirits so distinctive is the grain that forms the base of these products. Skagit Valley Malting, based in Burlington, Washington, produces malted grain — mostly, but not limited to, barley — raised by local farmers that brewers, distillers and even bakers across the region employ as the foundation of their offerings.
With their house-built machinery and superior raw product, Skagit Valley Malting is an innovator in the craft malting space and is uniquely positioned to offer insights into the beer and spirits industry writ large.”
