CRAFT MALT FOR PEOPLE & PLANET

We’re on a mission to build innovative malt supply chains in support of family farms, rural communities, and landscape-scale conservation. We start with water and strive for comprehensive sustainability. Radical supply chain transparency invites you to travel upstream from your favorite craft beer & spirits.

 
 

Support PNW family farms and landscapes. Trace the products you love back to their unique places of origin.

Ask for beer, spirits, and baked goods Made With Mainstem.
