Powered by Innomalt | Crafting Exceptional Malts We sat down with Dana Ryles, Assistant Brewer at Maybee Brewing in Fredericton, New Brunswick, for a deep‑dive conversation on their brewing journey, creative process, and the launch of Don’t Call Me Honey, an Amber Ale brewed with Innomalt malt. Dana detailed their progression from cleaning duties and cellar work at a small three‑barrel brewery (the Cap) to becoming its sole brewer, and ultimately joining the team at Maybee Brewing. We highlight the brewery's current focus on consistency, quality, and collaboration within the New Brunswick brewing community, as well as the technical and cultural shifts between small‑scale and larger commercial brewing. We explore Dana’s evolving palate and vision — from early interests in winter warmers to hazy IPAs and future aspirations like brewing a porter — all while acknowledging Maybee’s current capacity, which emphasizes approachable, reliable beers like the popular Workhorse IPA. Amber Ale Don’t Call Me Honey, featuring Vienna, M2 (Munich) and M3 malts from Innomalt, the podcast sponsor and a Canadian‑sourced malt producer. Dana also shared insights into the beer’s design, including its local tattoo‑inspired artwork and the addition of unpasteurized honey.
