Colorado Malting Co. is our final malting stop. (Yes, it took awhile to get here, thanks for being patient)  They grow all of their own malt and because their is extra time left in day, malt it too.

They offer the following products to the brewing industry:

Colorado Base Pale
Colorado Pilsner
Colorado Malted White & Red Wheats
Roasted Malts and Barley

They are also planning a barley party (Gerste Gemutlichkeit)! “This is an opportunity to personally witness barley being harvested in the field, cleaned, steeped, malted, kilned and brewed into great beer. Bring a camper and enjoy an evening of beer, food, music, and friends right on the field.”

That is my kind of camping!

2 Excellent Beer gifts

I just had to share two of the best Christmas gifts (Beer related category) that I received this year…

So what you see is MALTed milk balls, a rabbit that is HOPping, some wheat and a packet of yeast. All of the ingredients in beer! A clever sister-in-law I have.

I have had great help in chasing my 50 Beers / 50 States goal but this wins a big prize. My wife found a friend who was traveling in the vicinity of some of my missing states and enlisted her to help me. And did she ever. She got beer from 5 states! Thanks to Ayn for single-handedly knocking 10% of my list away! Unbelievable!

Malt this!

The science and agriculture behind beer making is fascinating. That’s why this POST on the Oregonian’s Beer Blog caught my eye.

This will really help create more local malt growing if it works and that means fresher beer with less of a footprint. Green is good.
