As transportation costs continue to increase and the number of microbreweries and brewpubs increase in small distant towns-- I wonder why there is not an increase in malt houses. Micro- malt houses close to the producers of barley and close to the consumers of malt.
Little Malt House on the Prairie.
I understand economy of scale but aren't rocketing transport costs to and from centralized malthouses a trump card for small, local, and artisan malt?
Of course I wonder because I want a lil' malt house that smells of roasting barley and a lil brewery up front for the testing and the drinking.
Thanks for explaining this mystery.
