New Crop: Country Malt Group Adds Hemp to Its Harvest
At their root, breweries are in the business of crafting adult beverages — ones that happen to involve alcohol. But lately it’s become obvious that the market landscape is shifting. A new crop of consumers is springing up, increasingly drawn to alcohol-free alternatives. Wise brewers would do well to address that growing demand, perhaps by cultivating new kinds of beverages to complement their beers.
Country Malt Group just announced that it is ready to help breweries sow the seeds of success in this new landscape. Long-known as a supplier of things like barley and hops, the company just announced a new partnership with Perfectly Dosed, a hemp emulsion specialist. Alongside traditional ingredients, Country Malt will now offer the brewing and distilling industry THC, CBD, and other hemp-derived products. Here is the full press release.
