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!

Victorian Steampunk Ale
Chevallier West Coast
Chevallier® Heritage Malt was the first ever selected landrace for malting, and it’s what our founders, Fred and George Smith, would have malted in Norfolk, England, back in 1870. Chevallier® reigned supreme for over 100 years as the dominant barley variety in England from the 1820s to the 1920s. It was propagated worldwide and was commercially grown in Australia as recently as 1960. It formed the backbone of many Victorian ales, and in its revived form, we’ve seen it win awards for its depth of flavor.
It has a robust maltiness, like a Maris Otter turned up to eleven, with a rich marmalade character and a long aftertaste. In new make spirit for whisky, its malt bursts through.
