Premium Coors Barley

Growing for Coors requires strict quality standards. We focus on protein levels, kernel plumpness, and moisture to ensure the perfect brew.

Phase 1

Precision Planting

We use specific varieties approved by Coors. Timing is everything—planting too early or too late can affect the malting quality of the grain.

Phase 2

Nutrient Management

To hit the "sweet spot" for protein, we manage nitrogen levels carefully. Our irrigation is timed to mimic ideal natural conditions for head development.

Phase 3

Golden Harvest

We harvest when the grain reaches 13.5% moisture. Our combines are calibrated to prevent cracking, ensuring the barley arrives at the elevator in top condition.
