A fifth-generation family farm, and a first-generation craft malthouse, Root Shoot Malting produces responsibly-raised, caringly-crafted, high-quality malts for Colorado’s craft brewing community. We believe farmers are stewards of the land and that responsible agriculture can support a better beer industry. We value fresh water, mountain views, thriving wildlife, and healthy soil. We work in collaboration with our partner breweries, distilleries, and craft malt network, to save family farms...one whiskey at a time.
