The release of Speakeasy malt for distillers is our first offering designed specifically for this rapidly growing spirits category.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The development of Speakeasy utilizes a barley variety that has shown great potential to deliver higher levels of enzymatic activity compared to other winter 2-row varieties. This variety coupled with an extended, cool germination and gentle kilning temperatures create the building blocks for this innovative malt style..\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur Speakeasy malt is a balancing act,\u201d says Riverbend Co-Founder Brent Manning. \u201cIt\u2019s not just an enzyme package, but a rich, flavorful malt that is designed to convert corn in a Bourbon recipe while delivering notes of melon and honeysuckle. Speakeasy provides an avenue for craft distillers to explore whiskey recipes with local ingredients.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read all of Speakeasy\u2019s specifications <a href=\"https:\/\/riverbendmalt.com\/malt\/speakeasy\/\">here<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Co-Founders Brent Manning and Brian Simpson launched Riverbend, the first craft malthouse east of the Mississippi River, in Asheville, North Carolina in 2010. Buoyed by a 70,000 foot production facility and state of the art equipment, Riverbend Malt House helps breweries and distilleries large, small, and in-between stand out with flavor, locality, and community in an increasingly competitive landscape\u2014 all the while challenging the status quo of corporate, big-agriculture malt.
