Description
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture administers this program through the Pennsylvania Malt and Brewed Beverage Industry Promotion Program Board. It supports projects that enhance the state’s malt and brewed beverage industries through promotion, marketing, and research. Funds provided by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board can also support increased production of Pennsylvania-made malt and brewed beverages.
Potential work includes malt production, fungicides, drying technologies, brewer’s yeast, quality testing, and training. The program also identifies educational outreach, projects connecting brewers and farmers, beer tourism, trails, and public-facing guides as examples. For an upcoming request for proposals, the board has discussed work to put a previously developed statewide marketing brand into use at regional and local levels.
