🌱✨ Big News from the Farm! ✨🌱

We just planted 3 brand new millet varieties—hand-selected by our team for their unique malting potential—and guess what? They’ve NEVER been grown before! 👀

These aren’t your average grains. These are next-gen millets that we believe will unlock new flavor, aroma, and performance for gluten-free brewers everywhere. 🍻

We’ve spent years searching, testing, and now it’s time to grow. These varieties are tailored specifically for malting and will help us take gluten-free craft beer to an entirely new level.

Get ready for:
🔥 More character
🌾 Better extract
🍺 Fuller flavor
💥 And the boldest GF beers yet!

Follow along as we grow the future of gluten-free brewing—from seed to sip. 🌾🍻

Congratulations Eric on receiving the Environmental Leadership Award for 2024 at the Iowa State Fair! 🙌🏼 The award, presented by Governor Reynolds and Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig, honors farmers committed to enhancing and protecting natural resources like soil and water.

On our farm, we use a no-till approach and cover crops to enrich the soil and improve our water quality. We believe that healthy soil not only benefits the environment but also enhances the flavor of our grains, which are used to make beer! And you know.. good beer starts with good soil and water! 😉

We’ll cheers to that! 🍻

It’s been awhile since we’ve posted much about what has been happening around the malthouse and, boy, do we have some exciting news to share..

We are officially brewery owners 🙌🏼

Say what?!

From the beginning we knew brewing our own beer was the natural evolution for Miller Malting Co. and we are finally able to bring it to fruition! We will now be growing and malting our own grains as well as become a production brewery - brewing the beer right here on our farm!

Our heritage has driven us to continue our family legacy as the 5th generation to farm allowing us the knowledge and know-how to grow our own grains. In the more recent years, in an attempt to diversify the farm, we learned the art and skill of malting grains for beer production. We acquired a commercial malting system (prototype) which gave us plenty (and then some) to learn but the spark for potential and opportunity was there. Now coming full circle- brewing our own beer just makes sense!

After finding the ideal brewing system, we faced the challenge of relocating it from its original brewery located hours away. With the support of an outstanding team working tirelessly in the heat, we successfully dismantled, transported, and brought it home. A massive thank you to everyone involved for making it possible!

Cheers to a new era of beer 🍺

“We don’t inherit the land from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” -Native American proberb

As farmers, everyday is Earth day. Functioning in harmony with the land is essential, not only for us, but for the generations that follow. Soil health is parallel to our own health and without health we have nothing. The Earth continues to give and give and is too often abused with little or no thought to the repercussions.

Here at Miller Malting Co. we are passionate about regenerative farming practices, soil health and working hand in hand with our family farms to produce the highest quality grains possible. The grain quality reflects in our malt and is ultimately showcased in your beer glass. Next time you enjoy a refreshing brew take a second to think of all the dedication the farmers have put into the land.

It all starts with the Earth and ya know, she’s kind of a big deal! 💁‍♀️

Happy Earth Day! 🌎
