This is going to be another deep dive into the world of brewing malts. We
previously chatted with a micro maltster, Troubadour, in Fort Collins. That
gave us some insight into the niche world of specialty craft malts. But
today's guest covers a much wider spread.
She’s Sara Hagerty of Malteurop's U.S. division. She has an incredible
technical background in biology, chemistry, yeast, and now, malt sales.
It’s an interesting role, working across so many different kinds of
breweries in a large region of the U.S., trying to meet their needs with
barley malt. And in her time with Malteurop, she’s seen the company adapt
to fit the rapidly changing needs of craft brewers after so many years of
providing for the largest brewers in the world. It’s quite a different
beast.
I met Sara at the Hopleaf recently, and within minutes of talking about her
job, I knew, or at least hoped, that we’d get her in to the studio for a
podcast interview so that I could share her insight and experience with you
all. Thankfully, her insane travel schedule lined up with my own, and we
found an hour to dig in. |
