Canada Malting Launching New Maritime Malt Tonight

Canada Malting is proud to launch their new Maritime Malt tonight in Halifax, and to help celebrate they'll be bringing a number of Atlantic Canada breweries together to pour some special beers.

Starting at 7pm tonight in a private event, at the Hart & Thistle Gastropub, seven breweries will be serving a number of beers that were brewed using the new barley, which is grown exclusively in the maritimes:

Propeller Brewing Company - Propeller Mild Brewery
Rudder's Seafood Restaurant & Brew Pub - Pompey Dick IPA
Garrison Brewing Company - Hopyard Pale Ale Brewery
Yellow Belly Brewery & Public House - Yellow Belly Single Malt
Paddy’s Brewpub & Rosies Restaurant - Rosies Red Anniversary Ale
Northampton Brewing Company (Picaroon's) - Maple Cream Ale
Granite Brewery Ltd. - Hopping Mad Ale


In a press release issued last week, John Holliday, the President of Canada Malting, had this to say about the new malt: "The launch of our Maritime Malt is consistent with our goal to support producers and brewers across North America and to offer high-quality, regionally produced products. The Maritime malt brings our Central and Eastern Canadian malts to a total of three: 'Ontario Select', 'La Québécoise' and 'Maritime Malt'. We are happy to be a part of this collaboration between the farming, brewing and malting industries and we are very pleased with the warm reception from the Atlantic brewing community."
