“The folks at NY Craft Malt are at the top of their game. When I came to pick up my order and tour the facility, they also had fresh kilned Crystal 60 waiting for me to sample at pick up. I was amazed at how much the freshness of the roast changed the richness and the vibrancy of the malt. Between the great one-on-one service and excellent hand crafted malt varieties, I will certainly be a returning customer to NY Craft Malt going forward.”

— Nick Witte, Wagner Valley Brewing Co.
