SIMPLE DEFINITION
Botanical malt brew is what happens when you combine ancient malting techniques with rare Himalayan botanicals.
Not juice. Not soda. Not an energy drink.
THE MALT
What is Malting?
Malting is a 10,000-year-old process where grain is:
- Soaked in water (activation)
- Allowed to sprout (germination)
- Dried with heat (kilning)
This unlocks enzymes, converts starches to natural sugars, and creates complex flavors that raw grain doesn't have.
Why Himalayan Black Barley?
We use Himalayan black barley grown at 2,000-3,000m elevation.
- ✓ Higher nutrient density than regular barley (altitude stress creates resilience)
- ✓ Malting enhances: B-vitamins, minerals, amino acids
- ✓ Creates natural body and depth without heaviness
- ✓ Gluten is removed during processing (final product is gluten-free)
THE BOTANICALS
The malt gives structure.
The botanicals give character.
- 🔥 Sea buckthorn (3,200m) - Vitamin C powerhouse
- 💧 Rhododendron (wild) - Floral, naturally pink
- 🌬️ Kilmora berry (wild-foraged) - Can't be farmed
- 🌍 Coffee + Timur (1,300m) - Natural caffeine
- ☁️ Blue pea flower (400m) - Naturally blue
THE BREW
We combine malted Himalayan black barley with altitude-specific botanicals.
Zero added sugar (monk fruit sweetened).
2.5-30 calories per can.
Carbonated for freshness.
That's botanical malt brew.
"The Base: Himalayan Black Barley (Malted)"
CONTENT:
All five botanical malt brews share a common base: malted Himalayan black barley.
What is Malting?
Malting is an ancient process (10,000+ years) where grain is soaked, sprouted, and dried. This activates enzymes, unlocks nutrients (B-vitamins, minerals), and creates complex flavors.
Why Himalayan Black Barley?
- Grown at 2,000-3,000m elevation in Uttarakhand
- Altitude stress creates nutrient-dense, resilient grain
- Higher antioxidant content than lowland barley
- Traditional Himalayan grain, culturally significant
What Malting Does:
- ✓ Activates enzymes (converts starches to natural sugars)
- ✓ Unlocks B-vitamins (B1, B2, B3)
- ✓ Enhances minerals (magnesium, phosphorus, zinc)
- ✓ Creates 100+ flavor compounds (nutty, toasty, subtle sweetness)
- ✓ Adds body and depth without heaviness
Final Product:
The malt gives structure. The botanicals give character. Together, that's botanical malt brew.
