Malt on the move
Anniversary | Not only brewers but also German maltsters have been left shaken by the energy crisis, weak exports and the drop in beer consumption. Nonetheless, crisis situations are nothing new for traditional malting companies which have often been active on the market throughout several generations of the same family. Palatia Malz GmbH from Heidelberg, Germany, which this year celebrates its 125th anniversary, can also testify to this, as majority shareholder and managing director Dr. Axel Göhler tells us in our BRAUWELT interview. This is no reason to be pessimistic or anxious about the future, however.
