Blue Ox Malthouse Debuts 7 New Roasted Malt Varieties

Blue Ox Malthouse has seven new roasted malt products in stock.

Major expansion in 2024 established Blue Ox Malthouse as the world’s largest floor maltster outside of Europe. It also implemented new equipment and processes to enable the malthouse to offer specialty roasted malt products rarely available from craft maltsters. 

After rigorous research and development— which included experimentation with Blue Ox customers Maine Beer Co., Tributary Brewing, and Goodfire Brewing— Blue Ox is pleased to present seven new roasted malts: Chocolate Rye, Crystal 90, Crystal 120, Golden Triticale, Roasted Barley, Roasted Oats, and Roasted Wheat. Like all of Blue Ox’s offerings, these new malt styles are floor malted with premium grains sourced from family farms in the Northeast. Their specifications are as follows:

Chocolate Rye – Roasted pretzels and dark chocolate. Flavorful and black in color. 350 SRM. 

Crystal 90 – Deeply nutty flavors with hints of molasses. 80-90 SRM.

Crystal 120 (Special Moxie) – Cooked raisins, roasted sugars, and maple syrup. 110-120 SRM.

Golden Triticale – Pure s’mores and granola. Put it on ice cream! 10-15 SRM. 

Roasted Barley – Baking chocolate and dark-roasted coffee. Dark black color. 600 SRM. 

Roasted Oats – Notes of sesame and sugar cookies with a glass of milk. 200 SRM. 

Roasted Wheat – Huskless and roasted to perfection. Notes of coffee and chocolate. 550 SRM.
