About me
Joel Alex is the founder of Blue Ox Malthouse, a malthouse based in Lisbon Falls, Maine, dedicated to connecting the state's craft brewing community with its agricultural economy through locally produced malt. Alex founded Blue Ox in 2013 with the goal of fostering relationships between Maine farmers and brewers, processing his first pilot batch using grain from Aroostook County in 2014. Today, Blue Ox supplies Maine-grown malt to craft breweries across the region, with a mission to push the possibilities of craft beer and spirits while supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
