We have found Weyermann base and specialty malts to have a flavour profile that is perfectly suited to our award winning lagers and ales. Along our journey Cryermalt have been providing our brewery with excellent technical and logistical support over the years, and we are very proud of the relationship we have forged with both Weyermann and Cryer. “
