Had a long conversation tonight with a head brewer and at one point we started talking about the grain bill for a new pale ale they had on tap.
I thought it was fantastic, when I guessed the grain bill and mentioned crystal he quickly said "NO". He doesn't like it, and doesn't use it in most of their beers. He did mention that this beer had melanoidin malt in the bill along with 2-row.
What's been your experience with this malt?
