Brewers and Distillers Field Day
July 29, 2025
This year we will have a few speakers in the morning followed by lunch and crop and malthouse tours. Learn how our drum malting system helps us make something great even better. Learn about our newest and upcoming products. Feel free to join us all day or if time is a concern join us for lunch and the tours in the afternoon. We will be taking a bus from Craft Beer Commonwealth to the fields and malthouse and back. Dress appropriate for the weather, walking in fields and through a malthouse.

Variety matters, all grain brewers are entitled to demand more from their malt. More flavour, more consistent brewing performance and more flavour stability are all possible by choosing a variety bred for craft brewing.
Craft Malsters, like Red Shed Malting, are developing new products to make more beer styles possible out of only Canadian Ingredients.
