The Swaen works with the best raw materials.
They use mainly high quality Dutch and French 2 row spring malting barley.
The base malts and of course the special malts from The Swaen can help to improve flavor, color, fullness and brewing performance. Because of the wide range of special malts The Swaen offers, the brewery's in Taiwan (and all over the world) can let their craft beers stand out from other craft beers from their colleagues.
