Small thing but—tipster at a mid-size Northeast brewery told me Trump's tariffs will likely force their brewery to switch away from a 15yr maltster partner to a multinational, Malteurop, which is able to offer better stability on pricing.

Sad news from the UK maltings world, very sorry to hear of the passing of James Fawcett of Thomas Fawcett & Sons. He was a gentleman maltster. RIP

🔎 Tracing your family history? You might come across a bastardy bond — a fascinating record created when a child was born outside marriage.
Here’s one example from the Borough of Launceston: John Goodenough, maltster, was named as the father of a child born to Sally Goodman in 1815.

My current employer hosted my former employer for an Oktoberfest shindig this afternoon and I felt good enough to go. Where would Minnesota’s brewing industry be without these two knuckleheads?

For Pellicle, I visited the UK’s oldest maltster, French & Jupps. Which specialises entirely in crystal and ‘patent’ roasted malts. This is part history of a company dating back to 1689, part technical look at how these malts are made, and why it matters in terms of the beer we drink.
Malt 🌾 It's the basis of your pint, the backbone of beer. @totalcurtis.bsky.social visits French & Jupps to discover their processes, and learn about a beer business that's been open since the 1600s.

In February 2024 I visited French & Jupps, the UKs oldest existing maltster, and roasted malt specialist. I’d never heard of them before, despite them being in operation since 1689. It’s story fascinated me, so I wrote it for @pelliclemag.com here:

No mention of James Otis, the leading voice in Massachusetts in the early 1760s. Straight to Samuel Adams instead, called a “failed brewer” (he was a maltster) and “[failed] tax collector” (he built political popularity by not collecting in hard times). #HATM

Old Tudor House, (Tiddy House), Tudor Street, Exeter is a late 16th century 4 storey timber framed building with leaded lattice casement windows. Research by Jacqueline Warren suggests it dates from 1630. The original deeds of the house state it was built by Isaac Burche the Elder, a maltster /1

Yes we did, among many others. Gold Rush in Baker City, Oregon for example. But Admiral was one of the biggest in the country. Its distillery customers vanished and I imagine it has been shedding breweries too. Have you guys worked with a smaller maltster, or do you plan to?

This morning's auto-transcription gem is rendering "maltster" as "mobster".
That could make a spicy pitch to magazine editors. Any brewers or distillers care to comment? 😈

Base #malt is an essential ingredient for ale/beer, providing the fermentable malt sugars in the mash tun. This piece on base malt explains so much about the skills of the modern maltster and, yes, I learned a lot from reading it even though I've been studying malt and malting for ages. Excellent!
What is the main driver of the way a base malt tastes, the barley variety or the malting process? In a long-overdue part two on my series on malting, we learn the answer.

What more do I want for great beer? The skill, knowledge and experience of how to use these basic ingredients. Brewing an ale/beer involves technology, science and, some might say, a little bit of magic. The magic is actually the skill of both maltster and brewer. 🍺 #malt #ale #beer #brewing #skill
