Blue Ox Malthouse Adds Seven Roasted Floor Malts To Portfolio

LISBON FALLS, ME– Blue Ox Malthouse has seven new roasted malt products in stock.

Major expansion in 2024 established Blue Ox Malthouse as the world’s largest floor maltster outside of Europe. It also implemented new equipment and processes to enable the malthouse to offer specialty roasted malt products rarely available from craft maltsters.
