It's The Malt!

🌾 IT’S THE MALT is BACK! 🌾

Join us Saturday, September 19th at Admiral Maltings in Alameda for the third IT’S THE MALT Festival, our annual celebration of malt’s central role in beer and whiskey and everything it takes to get it from grain to glass.

New this year will be our Festbier Station pouring a variety of beers you’d find at the original celebration in Munich but with a homegrown twist. These beers will range from hefty Pale Lagers to classic amber-colored Marzens, all crafted with California-grown and locally-malted grains.

Expect:

🍺 Unlimited tastings of over 30 beers including our new Festbier Station, 2 Cask Ales, and a gravity poured "stichfass" keg welcome beer

🥃 A carefully curated Single Malt Whiskey flight

🎧 DJs from KXSF on the sound system

🎸 Live music from: The Permanent Records and Amp Melo

🛍️ A local Vendor Village featuring:

• Pop up record store with 1-2-3-4 Go! Records
• Pop up book store with Pleasure Reading Books
• Pop up vintage clothing store with Treal Icons

🎤 Two live panel discussions:

• Crafting Festbiers with Admiral Malt - live sensory demo and discussion with our own Kim Sturdavant
• The Art and Practice of an American Single Malt Whiskey Collaboration: a discussion with our neighbors, St. George Spirits distillers Lance Winters and Dave Smith.

🍺👨‍🔬 Live homebrewing demo with Dahoam1516

🍔🔥 Smash burgers, pulled pork sandos, hotlinks, beyond brats and more cooked up by The Rake
