The Story Starts in the Field: Inside Loveland’s Root Shoot Malting
Every great pint and every pour of whiskey starts somewhere. For a growing number of Colorado brewers and distillers, that somewhere is a family farm in Loveland. Root Shoot Malting grows its own barley, wheat, rye and corn at Olander Farms, then turns that grain into award-winning craft malt in a malthouse right on the property. The Olander family has farmed in Loveland for five generations, and in 2016, Todd Olander launched Root Shoot to keep the farm’s grain connected to the people who brew and distill with it. Today, that malt finds its way into beer and spirits across Colorado and beyond, including the family’s own Root Shoot Spirits, whose American Single Malt Whiskey was named Spirit of the Year at the 2026 London Spirits Competition.
