Bloem is the founder and head maltster of Murphy &amp; Rude Malting Co. \u201cWhile our brand quality, industry reputation, and tailored customer experience has always been a strong point for us; our ability to scale, expand our customer reach, and offer more competitive pricing has proven difficult over the last two years in the face of continuous economic and business headwinds. Given the correction market currently facing craft beer and spirits, we believe we are in a much better position working collaboratively than continuing to go-it-alone. My hope is that the efficiencies gained from a dually beneficial partnership like this will lift all boats and prove to be the innovative business structure that lights the path forward.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .entry-content --><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t <!-- .et_post_meta_wrapper -->\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Murphy &amp; Rude, Virginia\u2019s only maltster, announced it is merging operations with Carolina Malt House on the outskirts of the small, rural town of Cleveland, NC. \u00a0 \u201cI could not be happier with the partnership we were able to architect with the superb team at Carolina Malt House,\u201d said Jeff Bloem in a prepared statement.
