is a malt producer based in Shakopee, Minnesota. The firm began as the Eagle Brewery, which was founded in 1847 in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, by German immigrant William Rahr. Like many breweries of the era, Eagle produced its own malt. By the 1860s, the company was also supplying malt to other breweries, mainly in the local area. The brewery was closed during Prohibition and never reopened, but the malt production continued.

Today, the company is still controlled by Rahr’s descendants and has become the ninth-largest commercial maltster in the world and the fourth largest in North America. Rahr has two malting facilities—one in Shakopee, Minnesota, and one in Alix, Alberta, Canada. The company also has a grain storage elevator in Taft, North Dakota.

Rahr produces roughly 510,000 metric tons (33 million bushels) of malt per year. Although the company does produce some specialty malts, the bulk of its production is pilsner-type base malt, wheat malt, and malt used in the distilling and food industries.

In addition to its own malt, Rahr also distributes imported and domestic specialty malts, hops, and other brewing products (such as adjuncts, head retention agents, and fining agents) to mainly-North American customers through its Brewers Supply Group subsidiary. Among the companies whose malt they distribute are Weyermann (Germany), Briess (United States), and Castle (Belgium).

Rahr is also a part owner of Koda Energy, a power company that burns malting and agricultural byproducts to generate heat and electricity, some of which is then used by Rahr. Koda is a joint venture between Rahr and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community.
