Country Malt to exclusively distribute Montana Craft Malt
New partnership will expand access to Big Sky craft malt while strengthening supplier's commitment to domestic malt and local agriculture
Country Malt Group (CMG), a leading supplier to the North American craft beverage industry, is excited to announce a new partnership with Montana Craft Malt (MCM), becoming the exclusive U.S. distributor of Montana Craft Malt products.
Part of Soufflet Malt, the world’s largest malting company, CMG is more than just malt, bringing together an extensive distribution network and a broad portfolio of essential ingredients for craft brewers and distillers. Through the partnership, CMG will offer Montana Craft Malt’s full portfolio across its U.S. warehouses, making the Montana-grown and malted products more accessible to craft producers across the country.
Based in Butte, Montana, MCM is rooted in one of North America’s premier barley-growing regions. Its close connection to local agriculture and focus on quality, consistency and reliability make them a natural fit within CMG’s growing portfolio of domestic and global malt brands.
“We’re incredibly excited to welcome Montana Craft Malt to the Country Malt Group family,” said Dana Lukens, VP of CMG. “As part of Soufflet Malt, we have the global strength and resources of the world’s largest malting company behind us, but we remain deeply invested in the local communities and agricultural regions that make our industry possible. Montana Craft Malt shares that commitment, from supporting local growers to producing high-quality malt that brewers and distillers can depend on.”
The partnership reflects CMG’s continued emphasis on providing customers with strong domestic malt options while supporting local agriculture from grain to glass. Montana Craft Malt will complement CMG’s extensive selection of malt brands, giving customers even more choice in finding products and suppliers that align with their brewing or distilling style, production needs and values.
“Montana Craft Malt was built on a simple idea: make exceptional malt close to where the barley is grown and build real relationships with the people who grow it and the people who use it,” said Jen O’Brien, Co-Founder of Montana Craft Malt. “As we look to the future, Country Malt Group gives us the opportunity to bring that story to more brewers and distillers across the country while staying true to our roots.”
Montana Craft Malt products are now available through Country Malt Group warehouses across the United States. Customers can contact their local CMG sales representative or visit countrymalt.com for product availability and additional information.
