At Great Lakes Malting Company, we create Malt That Matters—premium malt crafted from 100% Michigan-grown grain that connects breweries and distilleries directly to the farmers who grow it. Every batch reflects our commitment to exceptional quality, meaningful partnerships, and strengthening Michigan agriculture from field to glass.

Supporting Michigan Agriculture from Field to Glass.

Every bag of Great Lakes Malt begins with Michigan-grown grain. We proudly partner with Michigan family farms that are committed to responsible growing practices—including crop rotation and soil stewardship that help strengthen soil health, promote biodiversity, and protect the future of local agriculture. By sourcing locally and building a transparent supply chain, we’re helping brewers and distillers create exceptional beverages while investing in a stronger, more resilient Midwest grain economy.
