Ron Silberstein is the “Chief Malt Hustler” at Alameda’s Admiral Maltings, which supplies California’s finest brewers and distillers with a critical component: Malt. From the open-to-the-public behind-the-scenes tours, to their dog-and-family-friendly pub “The Rake,” Admiral Maltings is truly one of Alameda’s Hidden Gems. We’ll explore the journey of an Alameda ingredient that’s probably already in your glass, from local farmers to your favorite beverage.
