Bairds history continued…

One of their most popular Ale malts is Maris Otter®, named after its barley variety – a two-row, autumn sown barley favoured for its low nitrogen content, and warm, nutty flavour by makers of English ‘real ale’. It’s also very popular among home brewers because of its consistent performance.

Bairds’ coloured malts typically have a fruit cakey richness and warmth. We offer a range of Bairds specialty malts and adjuncts for brewing and distilling including Amber Malt, Pale Ale Malt, Black Malt, Caramel Malt, Chocolate Malt, Roast Barley, Heavily Peated Malt and Flaked Maize.

Bairds recommend their Amber Malt for use in Bitter and Mild Ales, Stouts and Porters. Bairds’ Pale Ale Malt is favoured for light bodied UK Pale Ales and Bitter Beers, made traditionally from winter barley. The intense flavours and aromas of Chocolate and Black Malt are suitable for dark to very dark beers.

Their Caramel malt is popular for use in Lagers and other pale beers to add small amounts of colour and flavour. Bairds’ Heavily Peated Malt can also be used sparingly in brewing to add a smoky character to the beer.

Bairds’ brewing malts have that rich, clean, true malt flavour often associated with traditional English beer styles. Bairds’ English-grown barley is sourced from the famous maritime barley growing areas that provide a dry, gentle environment ideal for barley growing and bringing out those rich malt flavours. Their Scottish malting plants source their barley primarily from growing regions in Scotland. As well as malt for brewers of specialty beers, Bairds are the leading producer of malt for the Scottish distilling industry.
