Scottish Ale Malt

Scottish Ale Malt is a testament to our malting heritage and deep roots within Scotland; sown, grown and malted in Scotland for provenance.

Scottish Ale Malt is the ideal malt for the craft brewer who requires a light coloured base malt for both lager and ales. Grown in Scottish fields that help produce some of the finest two-row spring barley, our Scottish Ale Malt celebrates the landscape and those who are the guardians of some of the best barley in the UK.

Ideal for both lagers and light ales, this malt boosts the Scottish provenance that very few can match. We’re proud to have such deep Scottish roots and, as we approach 200 years as maltsters, we’ve developed this quality malt to celebrate the unique character of our growers and the quality barley they produce, from field to firkin.
