California has a vibrant and growing craft brewing industry and a nascent malting industry interested in locally sourced products, which has created a demand for malting barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) production in California. ‘UC Tahoe’ (Reg. No. CV‐365, PI 678971) is the first malting barley cultivar released by the University of California and is well adapted to California's Central Valley (Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys). UC Tahoe is a two‐rowed spring barley with good resistance to powdery mildew and tolerance to yellow dwarf viruses. UC Tahoe combines four quantitative trait loci for resistance to Cereal yellow dwarf virus (CYDV) that were previously identified in the cross between ‘Butta 12’ and ‘Madre Selva’. While not currently a cultivar approved by the American Malting Barley Association, UC Tahoe meets the quality needs of a craft malting and brewing industry interested in sourcing locally grown barley.
