Benefits of a Michigan Malt Supplier

To stand out from the competition, especially as a small- to mid-size brewery, you need a truly unique menu offering. Malt from Great Lakes Malting company can give the beer you make that competitive edge courtesy of an unparalleled flavor profile, while also delivering the consistency and quality you need.

More Intricate Flavor

The unique growing environment of Michigan makes for a unique malt, resulting in a finished beer with more character. While all beer is brewed with malt and all malt will greatly impact the flavor of the beer, there are some styles, such as pale ales, lagers, and IPAs, that will be especially exciting to experiment with, as it will lend a nice balance between their hoppy character and a more nuanced malt backbone.
