Malt The brewery was established in 2012 and is a 10BBL microbrewery in Prestwood, Great Missenden, located right at the heart of the Chiltern Hills. The Chiltern Hills, once known as ‘the larder of London’ is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and stretches half-way between London and Oxford.

After focusing on Traditional English real cask ales for the first 8 years of production, the brewery now also produces a range of Maltcraft ® beers using hops from around the world, which can be enjoyed in bottles, cans and mini barrels.

What is now used as our brewing-hall, operated for many years as a milk bottling plant for Collings Hanger Farm, which was a 365 acre dairy farm from the early 1900’s. The farm was bought by Mr Wren Davis in 1923 and has been owned by the Davis family since.  It’s now a mixed organic farm and has a herd of organic suckler cows and grows ancient varieties of wheat for milling into flour.

After over 8 years of brewing and trading, Malt the Brewery now has a number of established routes to market and the on-site brewery shop and Tasting Bar offer a range of visitor experiences from guided tastings to Brewery Tours, social events and private bookings.

Malt The Brewery Ltd was wholly privately owned until Autumn 2019, when following a tightly-focused crowd funding campaign to Maltsters (members of the brewery club), 53 local members invested £225,000 in the business in return for a 13% share in the business.

Team Malt is a small team of local, dedicated people who share a passion for local food and drink.
