kuehl leaves cargill, moves to mid america

Please feel free to forward the following news as you see fit. I am extremely excited about taking an ownership role in Mid America and I am very much looking forward to continuing and fulfilling my business vision. Kelly Mid America Brewing Supply, a Minnesota based wholesale distributor of brewing ingredients is pleased to announce the appointment of Kelly J. Kuehl as Director of Products of Brands. Kuehl recently resigned his position as Sales Manager of Cargill Malt’s Specialty Malt division where he had that position for the last six years as an employee of Schreier Malting and later Cargill Malt. “I’m very excited about the opportunity that has been presented to me,” said Kuehl. “Mid America’s success has been built on their commitment to customer service and their ability to deliver everything the brewer needs, all bundled on one shipment. It’s their ‘big enough to serve you, small enough to care’ philosophy that really drew me to this position. Mid America recently signed an exclusive importing agreement with Simpson’s Malt from the UK. Coupled with their distribution of the malt product lines from Briess, Cargill, Crisp, Dingemans, Gambrinus, Great Western, Meussdoerffer, Minnesota Malting, Pauls and Weyermann, Mid America has become a one-stop malt resource. The company also inventories a full range of hops from Hop Union and a wide range of brewing and filter aids.
