Black Swaen

Creating a great malt is a careful, skilled process. It’s a craft that The Swaen has perfected since 1906. Combining traditional know-how with contemporary technology for the finest malts. We are indeed making malt a craft.

Crafting a distinctive, quality malt takes more than just our advanced infrastructure and modern production techniques. You need a human touch. That is why our Malt Master brings out the rich and complex flavours of every grain of barley, wheat, rye and oat. He blends the traditional art of malting with the latest in innovations, ensuring that every stage of the malting and roasting process is impeccably executed.

The Swaen uses a unique germination system and probably the greenest kiln and state-of-the-art roasting technology. These factors guarantee consistently high-quality malt.

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. You can see the same twinkle in everyone’s eye, from the malt master to the newest intern.
