Since 1870 we’ve lived and breathed malting. With this passion and expertise, and by combining traditional and modern techniques, we create an impressive range of malted and non-malted products, including several unique and exclusive barley malts.
We have a wide range of malts suitable for brewing and distilling to provide you with the foundations for creating your next beer or whisky.
There is nothing more we love than talking to brewers and distillers so if you have any questions, or would like to arrange a call with a member of our team, please feel free to get in touch – we would love to hear from you!
Specialty Malts help brewers create distinctive beers with greater complexity, colour, flavour, and mouthfeel. Whether you’re brewing a classic rye IPA, a smooth stout or a hazy New England IPA, Crisp Malt’s specialty malt range offers the versatility to develop unique beer styles with confidence.
Unlike base malts, specialty malts are used to build flavor, aroma, color and mouthfeel, allowing brewers to create beers with greater depth and complexity.
By carefully malting these grains using a variety of specialist malting techniques, our experienced maltsters are able to elevate these humble grains into specialty malts that are bursting with flavour and mouthfeel, enhance body, head retention and add aroma and character to finished beer. From the smooth, bready sweetness of Munich Malt and the creamy mouthfeel of Naked Oat Malt to the gentle spice of Rye Malt and the soft grain character of Wheat Malt, every malt has been developed to help brewers create distinctive beer styles with consistency.

Why Choose Crisp Specialty Malts?
As new brewing styles continue to emerge, specialty malts play an increasingly important role in creating distinctive flavor profiles. From the silky mouthfeel of Naked Oat Malt in a New England IPA to the rich color and gentle spice of Rye Malt in hop-forward beers, our range helps brewers add that something extra, whilst achieving consistency in every batch.
Our specialty malt range has been developed to provide brewers with consistent quality, excellent process performance and distinctive brewing characteristics. Every malt is carefully produced to help you achieve the color, flavor and mouthfeel your beer demands.
While many of our specialty malts are developed with brewers in mind, selected products are also used by craft distillers looking to introduce additional cereal character and complexity to innovative whisky and spirit production.
