Born and raised in Lincoln, NE our founder had few interactions with rural Nebraska growing up. However working for the state enabled him to travel and to meet people across Nebraska, people who work hard to grow our food here locally and worldwide. After leaving government work, Brian and a few friends started Blue Blood Brewing Company. The problem is no matter how much great beer they brew, the
y are not able to really highlight the great agricultural tradition of our state. Blue Blood Brewing Company uses thousands of pounds of grain each week, none of which is grown in Nebraska. Adding in the other 15 and growing breweries in the state, as well as craft distilleries, the amount of grain from out of state used each week is in the tens of thousands of pounds! It is time for this to change. It is time for barley, wheat, and other grains from Nebraska to have a home in Nebraska craft beer and spirits. Nothing is better than local products, and it is time for Nebraska to have its rich agricultural history a part of local craft beer and spirits! Nebraska Malt will help bring local agriculture to Nebraska brewers and distillers, and eventually introduce Nebraska malts to the entire country. Proudly, this business is owned and operated by friends and family, bringing the passion and support needed to give justice to Nebraska agriculture.
