An innovative natural sweetener with an attitude that Briess will be featuring in booth 8011 at Natural Products Expo West. BriesSweet White Grain Sorghum Syrup looks and smells like wildflower honey in yeast-risen breads. But don't call it honey. It's 100% pure white grain sorghum syrup that functions as a natural alternative to honey, corn syrup, sugar, brown rice syrup, malt extract and other sweeteners. Briess will be sampling bread made with BriesSweet White Grain Sorghum Syrup as a 1:1 honey substitute, and Lemon Jelly sweetened entirely by BriesSweet White Sorghum Syrup. BriesSweet White Grain Sorghum Syrup adds simply "Grain Sorghum Syrup" to a label. Visit booth 8011 from 11-12 on Friday, March 6, or 2-3 on Saturday, March 7, for a Briess Sensory Event to taste and learn firsthand the differences between sorghum cane syrup and white grain sorghum syrup. Traditional sorghum cane syrups are produced from the cane of the red sorghum plant and, as a result, develop characteristic tannins and bitterness. But BriesSweet White Grain Sorghum Syrup is distinguished by clean flavor and light color. - more - Briess Malt & Ingredients Co., 625 South Irish Road, PO Box 229, Chilton, WI 53014 Toll Free: (800) 657-0806 Tel: (920) 849-7711 Fax: (920) 849-4277 www.briess.com A division of Briess Industries, Inc.

2015 Briess Malt & Ingredients Co. FACT SHEET - 2015 PROFILE In the past two years, through acquisitions and capital improvements, Briess Malt & Ingredients Co. has expanded to become a fully integrated grain processing and malting company in complete control of its supply chain, from grower to producer: In 2013, Briess acquired grain processing, storage and seed plant facilities in a unique barley growing region of Wyoming. This year, Briess is contracting with almost 300 experienced barley growers in the region, a region noted for producing high quality, fl ood irrigated malting barley. Acreage is available for the addition of malting operations, when demand calls for it. In 2014, Briess acquired grain processing, storage and malting facilities in Manitowoc, WI. The acquisition added the capability to clean and grade raw barley, and more than doubled malting capacity when a modern malthouse was recommissioned. Additional malthouses on the property can be recommissioned when demand calls for it. The new locations joined the existing portfolio of Briess campuses, which include malting and roasting in Waterloo, WI, and malting, grain processing, storage and logistics in Chilton, WI. All operations are linked by rail. As of 2015, Briess ranked as the 5th largest malting company in North America. Briess has been moving in this direction for almost 10 years, reaffi rming this company s ongoing dedication to helping American craft beer and the Food industry s health and wellness platform continue to grow. Briess employs more than 175, including some of the nation s leading food scientists, professional brewers, microbiologists and sensory technicians. Briess ships ingredients to all 50 states and 20+ foreign countries. At any time more than 80% of the 3,400+ commercial breweries in the United States use Briess malts. In addition, some of the largest and most innovative food and beverage manufacturers in the world are supplied with custom and proprietary ingredients from Briess. Briess Malt & Ingredients Co. remains one of the few family- owned malting companies. It has been owned by the Briess family since its founding in 1876.
