Canada Malting Co.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

One of North America's oldest and largest maltsters, incorporated 1902 and headquartered in Calgary. Operates malthouses at Calgary, Montreal and Thunder Bay plus nine country elevators across the three Prairie provinces, producing roughly 400,000 tonnes of malt a year. Held through United Malt Group, which was demerged from GrainCorp on 1 April 2020 and acquired by Malteries Soufflet — the malting arm of the French cooperative group InVivo — on 15 November 2023, creating the world's largest maltster at 3.7 million tonnes across 41 facilities in 20 countries. Canada Malting's own website still describes it as "a GrainCorp company," which has not been true since 2020.

Boortmalt

Brewers Supply Group (BSG)

Shakopee, Minnesota, USA

Wholesale distributor of malt, hops, yeast and adjuncts across North America — the single order most small breweries place.

Tally's TakeIf you want to know what a brewery actually brews with, look at who delivers it. BSG sits between thousands of breweries and the farms, which makes it one of the quiet chokepoints of North American craft beer.

Founders The Hamill family — fourth-generation barley farmers, first-generation maltsters

A family-owned craft maltster in central Alberta specialising in custom malts from local barley.

SuppliesSpecialty roasted malts, traceable base malts and custom roasting for regional breweries.

Tally's TakeFourth-generation barley farmers who got tired of selling commodity grain into a system that never named them, so they built a malthouse and a roaster on the farm. This is the shortest supply chain in Alberta beer: barley, malt and brewery within sight of each other.

Malteries Soufflet

Nogent-sur-Seine, France

The malting arm of the French agricultural cooperative group InVivo, and since 15 November 2023 the largest maltster in the world. Its acquisition of United Malt Group for AU$1.5bn lifted annual capacity by half to 3.7 million tonnes across 41 facilities in 20 countries, and brought Canada Malting, Great Western Malting, Bairds Malt and Barrett Burston under one owner. Funding partners in Malteries Soufflet include KKR, Bpifrance and Crédit Agricole.

Tally's TakeMost drinkers have never heard of the company that malts more of the world's barley than anyone else, which is exactly how consolidation usually works — it happens one tier back from the label.

InVivo — creation of the world's largest maltster · checked 2026-08-23

United Malt Group

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Created on 1 April 2020 when GrainCorp demerged its global malting business and listed it separately on the ASX, with global headquarters in Vancouver. At demerger it was the world's fourth-largest maltster, with about 1.25 million tonnes of capacity across 13 plants in Canada, the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom, operating through Canada Malting, Great Western Malting, Bairds Malt and Barrett Burston. It existed as an independent company for three years and seven months, until Malteries Soufflet completed its acquisition on 15 November 2023.

Tally's TakeA company that was spun out to stand on its own and was bought before it had finished doing so. The archive keeps it because the brands underneath it still trade, and because the chain from GrainCorp to InVivo is unreadable without the link in the middle.

Non-profit founded in 1985 that certifies beer judges and publishes the style guidelines used by homebrew and commercial competitions worldwide.

Its style guidelines are the framework most modern style classification descends from, including much of the vocabulary used across this archive.

Clawhammer Supply

Equipment manufacturer whose video channel became the better-known half of the business, publishing full brew-day walkthroughs on electric systems including historical recipes. A supplier that is also a publisher, which is worth flagging when reading its reviews of equipment.
