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!
This classic Golden Ale recipe for the homebrewer is all about showcasing hops without any caramel sweetness. The Cara Gold achieves the golden colour without any caramel sweetness but also lends the beer some body and a rounded mouthfeel despite the dry finish. Perfect on cask, for a quaffable summer ale.
