Darrel Miller
Operation & US Procurement Site Director
RahrBSG

Darrel Miller, Operation & US Procurement Site Director at RahrBSG, was honored with a Best in Brew Honors 2025 award.

Darrel Miller has been working with barley farmers for 38 years at RahrBSG and Rahr Malting Co., helping to direct the barley supply chain in the United States.

He has been helping to ensure that the supply chain of high-quality barley to malt stays healthy and intact year after year. This vital part of the beer industry in the U.S. and around the world requires dedication, attention to detail and the ability to adapt to weather and ever-evolving industry needs. Without quality barley, there is no quality beer.

Darrel’s dedication to the job has had lasting impacts on breweries, large and small, by ensuring that the supply chain can adapt to the needs of a dynamic industry.

He has also been connecting barley farmers to the beer industry at large, making sure there is a shared vision and understanding between breweries, the land and people that make beer possible.

Darrel has been instrumental in supporting two-row barley varieties with dormancy, enabling better acceptance of U.S.-grown barley from North Dakota. He has been a champion for farmers and the many people and operations across rural communities who make up the vital connection between agriculture and the beer that ends up in the hands of consumers. He has been a team leader and exemplary employee at Rahr for 38 years!

His tenure and contribution are a testament to the lasting strength of the beer industry across the U.S., and his work is an excellent example of how beer connects people across communities and the land.
