Barley Days 2026 was a blast, and we have a long list of thank yous to work through! Thank you to all the brewers who joined Rahr Malting Co. in Alberta, Canada, last week. Thank you to our partner farmers for welcoming us to the barley fields and sharing your expertise. Last but not least, thank you to the local brewers who offered hospitality and poured some mighty fine beer — namely Campio Brewing Co., Blindman Brewing, and Blind Enthusiasm Brewing Company. It was wonderful to experience and celebrate the full cycle of barley with you all – from farm to malthouse and brewhouse to pint glass. Let’s do it again next year. Cheers!

We want to say “Herzlichen Dank” to the entire Weyermann Specialty Malts family and team for the incredible hospitality and knowledge shared with members of the RahrBSG team.

Until next time, Bamberg!
