CRISP MALT, THE FINEST UK MALT SUPPLIER

At Crisp Malt we have lived and breathed malting since 1870. With our passion and expertise, we produce and supply the finest UK malt to the brewing and distilling industry across the globe.

At our sites in England and Scotland, we combine traditional and modern malting techniques to create an impressive range of malted and non-malted products, including several unique and exclusive barley malts, such as Chevallier Heritage Malt and Hana Malt.

We are brewing malt suppliers to a diverse range of partners; from the independent small craft brewery and whisky distiller to large global beverage companies. We always ensure a tailored approach for all our customers, only supplying the best malt for their award-winning beers and whiskies.

At our head office in Great Ryburgh, Norfolk in the UK, our dedicated Technical Team is not only responsible for malt analysis and ensuring all our barley is consistently the highest grade, but they also personally advise our brewing customers on brewhouse process improvement and beer recipe development. For instance, we can help troubleshoot issues in the mash tun or advise on washback problems for our distilling customers.

We love to share our production knowledge and best practices with our customers through webinars, online articles, on a call, or regular site visits to ensure our customers make the most of their Crisp Malt and that they return happy year after year.

H Banham's Maris Otter 'Motherfield' - in secret plot in heart of N Norfolk barley growing country

Discover Maris Otter


The mother field, where all Maris Otter seed comes from, is located in North Norfolk. Crisp is one of the largest buyers of Maris Otter barley and some of our farmers have been growing it since its first crop in 1965.

Praised by home and commercial brewers for its depth of flavour, Maris Otter has re-emerged as a hero of craft brewers discovering - or re-discovering - the depth of flavours it delivers. For over 55 years it has been a key ingredient in the recipe of countless award-winning beers.
