Great malt begins with exceptional growers.

At Great Lakes Malting Company, our story starts in Michigan fields. We carefully select our partner farms based on their expertise, commitment to quality, and shared values. Together, we’re growing exceptional grain while strengthening the future of Michigan agriculture.

Every bushel of grain we source has a story—from the farmer who planted it, to the field where it was grown, to the malt house where it was transformed. This direct connection allows us to create malt with authentic regional character and gives brewers and distillers a meaningful way to connect their beverages back to Michigan.

Many of our partner farms incorporate conservation-focused and regenerative growing practices that support soil health, improve crop resilience, and promote long-term stewardship of the land.

By working directly with Michigan growers, we provide a level of transparency and traceability that larger suppliers can’t replicate. The result is more than an ingredient—it’s premium Michigan malt that carries the character of our region and helps craft beverages with a story worth sharing.

From Michigan farms to every pint and pour, we’re creating Malt That Matters.
