OUR DISTILLING PORTFOLIO IS GROWING!

We’re excited to announce that we have partnered with AB Biotek, a business division of AB Mauri created in March 2017, to provide yeast for distilled spirits producers in the North America marketplace.

At Country Malt Group, we strive to provide new, innovative products to our customers in the craft beverage industry. Our relationship with AB Biotek has been in the making for some time now, and we are excited to now serve the distilled spirits industry together.

AB Biotek and its family of brands have a rich history in the fermentation space and an excellent reputation, both which further support our ‘one stop shop’ approach to our business. As the North American spirits market continues to grow, we’re even more excited about the opportunities to expand our presence in this important segment of the consumer alcohol business.

“While AB Biotek is a relatively new name in the distilled spirits industry in the U.S. and Canada, our AB Mauri parent division has been active in this marketplace for several decades,” said Greg Strauss, senior vice president, AB Biotek North America“Country Malt Group is known for providing the highest quality products to the North American spirits industry, and we’re excited for them to help us expand the footprint of our Pinnacle brands.”

The Pinnacle range of ingredients for the distilled spirits industry consist of specially-selected yeasts that produce high-quality products – from traditional bourbon and whiskey to rum, gin, vodka and more. Together, we take pride in assisting customers by understanding their specific needs before recommending an optimal yeast strain or nutrient for the ultimate end-use product.
