Business Overview Established in 2012, this Mid-Atlantic craft malthouse is the first commercial malting operation in its state since Prohibition. The company supplies premium specialty malt ingredients to craft brewers, distillers, and bakers nationwide - offering the most diverse non-barley specialty malt portfolio in the U.S. Ingredients are sold B2B to commercial accounts and direct-to-consumer via an online store.
Two Revenue Streams The core ingredients business generates consistent cash flow at 64% gross margins across raw grain, flour, specialty malt, extracts, and custom malting/milling/smoking services. Alongside this, the company operates a growing CPG brand portfolio - baking mixes, granola, packaged beer, and a zero-proof barley tea recently picked up by a major national natural grocery retailer. The two segments share infrastructure but operate under separate brands, giving buyers flexibility in deal structure.
The Opportunity The founder is selling the ingredients business to focus full-time on growing the CPG portfolio - creating a well-priced entry point with a motivated, transition-committed seller.
