"All around Warminster, the chalk soils of Wiltshire produce some of the finest barleys in England, and provide the best source of raw material for the maltings. When these barleys are introduced to the gentle process of malting on the floors at Pound Street, presided over by the head maltster Chris Garratt, the barley is skilfully hand-crafted into a fine skinned crispy sweet malt. Often referred to as the first stage of the brewing process, the devotion to malting at Warminster is recognised by brewers as a very important ingredient to their brewing."
