Host Ben Rice kicks off Maltster May(hem) with Fort Collins's Root Shoot Malting founders Todd & Emily Olander and Natalie Yoder, co-owner of the brand-new Fort Collins brewery Stodgy Brewing. We talk opening a brewery in COVID and how canning could have been catastrophic for her, moving the family farming business whole-hog into the craft malt world, and the odd challenges of making truly local beer. Plus! Maltsters educating brewers, the strange mismatch of market research versus sales reality, fair pricing, and we also get into whether Barleywine is Life or Lie. All this and more, on episode 144 of Barley & Me. Enjoy!
