A modern, local malting facility was the missing link needed between the land and the kettle to create rooted, unique, place-based beers and spirits that reflect the terroir of the South East. Five years later, and we’ve established both a cutting-edge precision malting operation, as well as a robust network of collaborators that includes farmers, grain brokers, academic and agricultural extension agent partners. And, of course, brewers.

OUR MISSION
Founded by a brewer & maltster, Epiphany works directly with farmers to select regional grains grown especially for their qualities in germination, and malts them to exact specifications in a state-of-the-art 10-ton germination-kiln-box. The result is a science-focused operation that gives both maltster and brewer precision control over the end result—much like having your own malt house.
We are committed to establishing a resilient, sustainable and quality supply of domestically grown malt that is farmed, malted and brewed for exceptional flavor and character.
