Admiral Maltings and The Rake<\/p>\n

A malt house on the West end of Alameda is shuttering, as well as its pub room. Admiral Maltings and The Rake announced<\/a> that the last day of making malt beer is Oct. 2, and that The Rake taproom will close on October 18. \u201cWe\u2019ve treasured the connections and community we\u2019ve created with California farmers, the breweries and distilleries we\u2019ve worked with, and everyone who helped us revive and innovate the craft of floor-malting. Helping revitalize a sustainable, California-rooted small grain economy, connecting with our customers, enjoying your beers and spirits, and seeing brands built around California floor malt has been incredibly rewarding. Despite our best efforts, we couldn\u2019t make and sell malt economically.\u201d Admiral Maltings<\/a> and The Rake at Admiral Matlings<\/a>, 651A W Tower Ave., Alameda\u00a0<\/p>\n
