From grain to beer, the malt that makes the difference
Malted with passion… without fossil energy
Artisanal, organic and responsible malthouse in the heart of Belgium
Welcome to MAD
Malterie Artisanale de Dinant was born from a deep conviction: that exceptional malt can only come from a total commitment to quality, terroir and the environment. Located on a plateau between the Lesse and Meuse rivers, our malthouse perpetuates ancestral know-how while embracing the most modern technologies to offer you organic malts of incomparable purity.
We work with organic cereals grown by farmers in our region, creating a short supply chain that guarantees freshness, traceability and support for the local economy. Each batch of malt that leaves our malthouse carries the imprint of our Belgian terroir and the fruit of our passion for excellence.
Our commitments, your guarantee
Excellence in every grain
In-house laboratory: germination, protein, moisture, EBC colour — every batch checked before it ships.
Here to help, every step
Professional or home brewer, we guide your choice: advice, reliable lead times and custom malting in 5-tonne lots.
