Craft Maltsters Guild to Celebrate Third Annual Craft Malt Month

NATIONAL— Craft Malt Month by the Craft Maltsters Guild is a celebration of this grassroots movement toward more resilient and sustainable grain supply chains that make better-tasting beer and spirits.

Now in its third year, Craft Malt Month will take place in September 2026. This is a community-wide celebration of farmers, maltsters, brewers, distillers, and consumers that spreads the word about the small grains movement and why it matters.

“Craft Malt Month is our chance to pull back the curtain on what makes great craft beer and spirits ... the malt! Every event, pour, and post this September helps build a stronger, more informed community while supporting those who grow, malt, brew, and distill,” says Steve Clark, President of the Craft Maltsters Guild Board of Directors. “We encourage everyone, from lifelong industry folks to first-time craft beer and spirit drinkers, to join in.”

Malthouses, breweries, and distilleries are planning Guild fundraisers, events, and educational opportunities to celebrate Craft Malt Month across North America. Find the full calendar of events and submit yours at CraftMaltMonth.com.

All are encouraged to join the conversation by using the #CraftMaltMonth hashtag and tagging the Guild @craftmalting on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and X throughout September.
