Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 92: Riverbend Malt House

Malt is, surprisingly, much more complicated and varied than I had originally thought! And, sometimes, a Florida brewery goes out-of-state to find just what they are looking for. That's what I learned when I spoke to Brent Manning, Co-founder of Riverbend Malt House in Asheville, NC. He had just flown back from Pensacola, doing a special 10th anniversary oyster stout with Bowigens Beer Company. So we spoke to Brent to understand the history and technique of malting, the incredible variety of flavors you can achieve, and dumping an entire cake into the mash tun at Bowigens.
