Craft Malt Month returns in September 2026, bringing the craft beer and spirits community together to spotlight the people behind the grains that make them possible. The month-long celebration will feature events, fundraisers, and educational opportunities – hosted by malthouses, breweries, and distilleries across North America. It also highlights the role of craft malt in building more resilient grain supply chains and supporting local farmers and producers.
The celebration is meant to spread the word about the small grains movement and why it matters, according to a press release from the Craft Maltsters Guild.
Now in its third year, Craft Malt Month will take place in September of 2026. It will be a community-wide celebration of farmers, maltsters, brewers, distillers, and consumers.
“Craft Malt Month is our chance to pull back the curtain on what makes great craft beer and spirits … the malt! Every event, pour, and post this September helps build a stronger, more informed community while supporting those who grow, malt, brew, and distill,” says Steve Clark, President of the Craft Maltsters Guild Board of Directors. “We encourage everyone, from lifelong industry folks to first-time craft beer and spirit drinkers, to join in.”
Malthouses, breweries, and distilleries are planning Guild fundraisers, events, and educational opportunities to celebrate Craft Malt Month across North America. Find the full calendar of events and submit yours at CraftMaltMonth.com.
All are encouraged to join the conversation by using the #CraftMaltMonth hashtag and tagging the Guild @craftmalting on Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin, and X throughout September.
