Maker's HoneyB
Our first ever trial-batch of HoneyB was done in the middle of June with the doors to the malt house wide open. Less than an hour into our lengthy process we had a literal swarm of bees in the plant attracted by the exceptionally sweet aromatics. This malt brings forth honey and light caramel with mild acidity and without the roasted flavour profile of our Caramel series making it a unique and versatile option!

Grown in Double E Grain
By Elmer Enns
Elmer Enns is our original farmer having grown up on a mixed grain and livestock/dairy farm where we are still located today. Elmer graduated from the College of Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan in 1977 and soon after started DoubleEGrain. Elmer is a strong steward of the land and believes in sustainability. He was among the first farmers to incorporate “No-Till” farming which preserves organic matter and prevents soil erosion. Elmer is the senior operator in our group and has participated in over 50 harvests. Despite spending more time with his 8 grandchildren, Elmer is still full-time farming and enjoys the challenge each new season brings to the table.
