Craft Malt created with Heritage in Mind
The 1823 Heritage Collection from Bairds Malt is a range of 6 premium craft malts created to celebrate the near 200 year malting history of Bairds, one of the oldest maltsters in the United Kingdom.
Our heritage stretches back to 1823 when brothers Frank and Hugh Baird founded the Great Canal Brewery in the industrial powerhouse of Victorian Glasgow. Realising that a quality malt was the key ingredient of quality brewing the brothers devoted themselves to producing a malt that brewers throughout the country could rely on.
That same commitment to quality malt is the benchmark of everything we do today – celebrating our heritage by continuing to partner with the finest growers of malting barley, to produce a range of malts that the world’s leading brewers and distillers can depend on.
Crafted by Character
From our 5 malting locations throughout the UK, we are privileged to work alongside some of the finest barley growers in the country. From the Highlands of Scotland through to the heart of England’s Southern Counties and throughout the eastern seaboard of the United Kingdom, we are grateful to have shared our decades of malting craft with the custodians of those fields, many of who have been growing quality malting barley to supply to Bairds for multiple generations.
