Champlain, NY – The Country Malt Group unveils their first company sponsored Malt Initiative with the expressed commitment to redeveloping New York State into a premium barley growing area—as it was once considered 100 years ago. Empire Malt, named for the iconic Empire State Building, has been developed hand in hand to support the New York Farm Bill, New York Beer Brewers, and the New York Farm Community. As a business started by the Bechard family-a 3rd generation New York family-CMG is deeply vested in the New York community, particularly the Champlain region.
