“Reasons to be Cheerful…”

Our order book for malts is presently under performing. We are told, for one reason or another, everyone has stopped drinking alcohol. For the time being perhaps. But we believe there are still reasons to be cheerful.

As Field Marshall Viscount Slim famously said

“Things are never as bad, …as at first they seem”.

The Last Artisan Maltster  

The last Maltings in the West Country, and the “Last Artisan Maltster”. At Warminster Maltings this is a responsibility we acknowledge with pride as well as the resolve and determination to ensure we carry on.

Today, more than ever, in the eyes of artisan brewers and passionate distillers, malt represents the opportunity of unique added value to their respective beverages. Whether it be the variety of barley, it’s provenance, unique flavour profile, or the hand crafted malting process, raising awareness of these virtues is clearly capturing the attention and the imagination of those who are looking for something special in their glass. More to the point, something special which can only be accomplished at the ‘Craft’ level of production. The ultimate seal of Craftsmanship.

But this is something that we at Warminster can only go on providing if we can maintain the current level of support for which we have been so grateful up to now. We have always had enormous confidence in our customer base, who have consistently proved themselves to be far more resilient than the industry as a whole. We like to think, at last, this steadfastness is on the cusp of being rewarded. But our own survival, of course, depends on remaining part of this achievement.

At the Maltings we are doing absolutely everything we can to ensure we carry on. We are very fortunate in that we have completed the repairs to our malthouses, and we have upgraded all our infrastructure. So, going forward, we really can concentrate our focus on the quality and the story of our malts. And we can assure everyone, we are absolutely dedicated to remaining the “Last” and not becoming the “Lost Artisan Maltster”.

Malts with More!
