Joel Alex is the founder of Blue Ox Malthouse, a business dedicated to connecting Maine-grown grains with the craft beer industry in his home state. Joel's family has deep roots in Maine: his mother's family once worked in the Rumford mills, and his father grew up on a dairy farm in Unity.  Raised in Old Town, Joel graduated from Colby College in Waterville, where his exposure to study abroad programs in Madagascar and Switzerland piqued his interest in sustainable development. After working in community organizing and environmental policy, Joel discovered a gap in local grain processing, leading to the creation of Blue Ox. From living out of a car while researching Maine's agricultural landscape to pioneering a craft malt industry, Joel's journey is a testament to innovation and perseverance. Join our conversation with Joel Alex today on Radio Maine.
