"I note they’re using products from local favorite Admiral Maltings." - Lauren Saria
"Located in Alameda and co-founded by brewmaster Dave McLean, Admiral Maltings produces locally made malt to avoid reliance on imports from England and Germany and to reduce the carbon footprint; McLean is using malt from Admiral Maltings to brew the Sushi Sato beers, emphasizing a truly regional approach with 95 percent California-grown malt sourced within 100 miles, which he calls the next frontier for brewing." - Dianne de Guzman
"At Admiral Maltings I’d join the Grain to Glass tour as part of the Beer is Agriculture event — it’s described as California’s first traditional floor malting facility since Prohibition and the tour includes tastings, a beer-and-cheese pairing using spent grain-fed farm products, and an industry panel with brewers and farmers (1:30 to 3 p.m.; tickets $15)." - Janelle Bitker
"The malthouse Admiral Maltings supplies the malt for Alpha Acid, and its data is included in the Oracle cloud ledger alongside hops and yeast as part of the tracked supply chain." - Caleb Pershan
"Located under the same redwood roof as Almanac's new brewery, this craft malting operation supplies small-batch barley to local breweries (including Almanac) and now has its own taproom, the Rake, opened next door; the Rake pours beer made with Admiral's malt, creating a built-in on-site beer crawl that doubles the draw for Bay Area beer fans." - Caleb Pershan
