It was established in 2000 by major stakeholders in the industry. Major capital investment was provided by the Canadian Wheat Board, with additional funding and support provided by government agencies. The CMBTC focus is on conducting applied research and pilot-scale malting and brewing tests of registered Canadian barley varieties. The facilities will be used to commercially evaluate the malting and brewing characteristics of new and existing varieties.
