For nearly the past decade, Skagit Valley Malting has been providing brewers, distillers, and culinary artisans with a selection of single variety malts from Skagit Valley grown barley. Colin Harvin, who is the new Business Development manager for Skagit Valley Malting, sat down with Grit & Grain to explain his job, malt’s role in brewing beer,
Their patent-pending Single Vessel Malting technology, and a malt monologue that melted our minds. Tune-in to Grit & Grain Episode 36 to hear Harvin’s path from the Georgia to U.S. Army to several bartending gigs, to a jack-of-all-trades at Wingman Brewers in Tacoma, to sales at 7 Seas Brewing, 21st Amendment Brewery and Country Malt Group before landing in Burlington, Washington, to help breweries brew with Skagit Valley Malting craft malt.
