If the idea of creating a local, smaller-scale malt house was both crazy and cool. Then the next step in Admiral Maltings evolution builds on that idea to take malt education a step further. Opening on (or near) January 26th is The Rake named for the tool used to turn germinating barley. There will be 20 beers on tap of examples made with Admiral’s malt plus cheese, charcuterie, and sandwiches. Even better, you will be able to look into the malthouse while sipping a Bay Area beer made with that malt.
And if you needed an excuse to head there, Almanac Beer Co. is moving into that same building with a taproom and beer garden.
AM is the combo of Ron Silberstein, brewer at Sand Fracnsisco’s ThirstyBear and Magnolia Brewpub founder Dave McLean.
