Great Britain’s Oldest Maltster.
Why Brewers Choose French & Jupps
French & Jupps has been part of British malting history for centuries. Their long-standing heritage gives brewers access to malt with real history, purpose, and a strong connection to traditional British beer styles.
French & Jupps is known for producing specialty roasted malts and fine crystal malts that help brewers shape color, aroma, sweetness, roast, and complexity with precision.
Their malt range is a natural fit for bitters, milds, brown ales, porters, stouts, dark ales, and other recipes where malt character needs to stand out.
Our team helps commercial brewers source ingredients, solve problems, and keep production moving. We are here to make buying specialty malt easier, not more complicated.
The Partnership
We Know This Maltings Firsthand
Pro Brew Supply has been visiting French & Jupps in Stanstead Abbotts since 2024 — walking the floor, standing at the roasting drums, and packing co-branded bags for American brewers. And the road runs both ways: F&J leadership has toured our Fort Worth warehouse. When we answer a question about these malts, it comes from having been there.

What happened to William Crisp malt?
William Crisp was the private-label name BSG used for over 30 years to distribute French & Jupps roasted and crystal malts in the US. That partnership ended in 2024. The same malts, from the same English maltings, are now sold under the French & Jupps name — available in the US exclusively through Pro Brew Supply.
Is French & Jupps malt the same as William Crisp malt?
Yes. William Crisp malts were always produced by French & Jupps in Stanstead Abbotts, England. Only the label and US distributor changed — the maltings, recipes, and roasting are the same.
Is William Crisp the same as Crisp Malt?
No. William Crisp was a US brand name for French & Jupps malts. Crisp Malt (Crisp Malting Group) is a separate British maltster. If your recipe called for William Crisp, the match is French & Jupps.

Is French & Jupps for British-style beers only?
No. French & Jupps malts shine in classic British styles, but they work across the board — bitters, pale ales, IPAs, milds, brown ales, porters, stouts, dark ales, and any malt-forward recipe where roasted character, color, and depth matter.

A Familiar Malt. Its Original Name.
Formerly Known as William Crisp in the U.S.
For more than 30 years, French & Jupps malts were sold to American brewers under the William Crisp label through BSG. That distribution partnership ended in 2024, and these traditional British malts—produced at the historic French & Jupps maltings in Stanstead Abbotts, England—are now available under the French & Jupps name through Pro Brew Supply.
Brewers familiar with William Crisp can select the corresponding French & Jupps malt with confidence: it is the same malt, made at the same maltings, and now presented under its original producer’s name.
