In the north, nature’s conditions are different. The hard winter, short growing season and the endless sunlight of the summer make northern barley and malt truly distinctive. A beer or whiskey has to have character, and so does the malt. The path to greatness is not always the easiest one.
We are deeply passionate about malting and our maltsters are well versed in the long traditions of brewing. We seek to constantly experiment with new methods – as well as rediscover old ones.
We are on a journey through the world of malt and beer, and we want you to come along. Tell us how we can help you make beers and whiskies that people tell stories about.
