About Us

The Brewing and Malting Barley Research Institute (BMBRI) has supported the development of world-class malting barley varieties in Canada since 1948. It is based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and its members include leading maltsters and brewers.

BMBRI performs two core activities — evaluating new malting barley varieties and funding research that assists malting barley development.

Supporting world-class malting barley in Canada

Canadian malting barley is known around the world for its high quality. BMBRI supports this leadership position, by helping to ensure Canadian malting barley meets the premium standards of BMBRI members.

This encourages the production of a steady supply of preferred malting barley varieties for BMBRI members, allowing them to deliver top-value malt and beer to customers around the globe.
