Crisp Haná Malt

Product detailed description

The Haná barley variety was first developed and grown in the Haná region of Czech Moravia, an area of Europe long famous for its high-quality
malting barley.

Haná is renowned for having produced the mash for the very first Pilsner lager with a golden hue, created in 1842 by Bavarian brewer Josef Groll at the Pilsner Brewery in Bohemia.

The subsequent global success of the Pilsner beer style led to the planting of Haná barley in many countries around the world. The original Haná from the 19th century is internationally recognized as a classic genetic ancestor of the highest quality modern brewing barley.

We took just a few Haná seeds and cultivated them over successive generations on prime Norfolk malting barley soil, harvested
them, and slowly and carefully steeped, germinated, and dried them on our floor maltings from the 1870s.

This malt produced the flavor of freshly baked bread with subtle malty notes, resulting in a clean, smooth, sweet wort.
