00:00So it's been a nervous wait for us in production this year with the wet start and further rain

00:12through the summer.

00:13I've been anxious to get out here and see how the maris has been performing and to check

00:18that it's in good condition.

00:19It's lovely to see these nice plump full grains, they're consistent, lovely and free from any

00:26pest or any fungal infection and they should perform consistently well through our brewing

00:31process delivering the excellent biscuit like flavour that we like in our base malt.

00:36For us as growers it's really nice going out and you have a pint of tribute and you think

00:40ah we're a little part of this.

00:43To stand in this barley field which is so close to the brewery for it then to be malted

00:53then come to the brewery, remember it's for us, it's for our beers and our specification,

00:59it's not for anyone else and that is a really special feeling which is why bringing the

01:03team out every year, you guys coming along, it's a really special day.
