You might think there are only two main ingredients in The Swaen malts. But beside the very best barley and the purest water, we also have a secret ingredient – the talent of our people. They bring together the art and science of malting.
Jos Haeck – Malt Master
Malt for beer
For more than a century our malt house has been producing premium quality malt for all types of beer. From crisp pale lagers to complex stouts, and everything between. Our exceptionally high quality raw materials, advanced technologies, and traditional expertise make our malts highly desirable.
Malt for distilling
The Swaen sources the best quality barley, wheat and rye. With more than a century of experience, we are the ideal partner for distillers. By using advanced germination and kilning methods, and probably the most sustainable roasting system, we can offer the finest quality distilling malt.
Malt for food
Malt is a fundamental ingredient in many foods, essential for a satisfying taste and texture. Yet to achieve the best results you need to use a high quality malt. The Swaen is an established supplier to food manufacturers, creating and developing specialist malts that meet the specific needs of the industry.
