Golden Promise ❤️

As Plant Variety Rights holders of this heritage barley variety since 2015, we know a thing or two about it and how it has become - and remains - a beloved base malt 🤩

The UK is renowned for its high-quality malting barley 🌾

There are three key reasons behind that:

▶️ Weather
▶️ Length of the growing season
▶️ Terroir

Harvest is here... 🌾

The first loads of winter barley have started to arrive at our malting and grain storage sites across the UK 📍

That means it's all systems go for the next few months, with around 350,000 tonnes of malting barley set to be delivered into our stores 🚛

[Annabel Hamilton @annabelhami11]

Great team effort today! Made a start on WB Pearl 🌾 for @SimpsonsMalt, coming in at 16.5% , time will tell yield wise. 2nd cut silage ☘️ also done and dusted ✅! Harvest definitely going to be staggered with mixed desiccation dates.

Unifying and scaling the final few recipes for the book, which has been a very time consuming labour of love. Really excited to have this one in there...

Wild about wheat 🌾

Although most of our operation revolves around the procurement of malting barley and its processing into malt, by having @MSandPltd built into our business, it also allows us to procure, store and trade other cereals and pulses, including distilling wheat 🥃

[Simpsons Malt Ltd. @SimpsonsMalt]

At the event, our seed and agronomy team showcased the 16 varieties at the site, highlighting their agronomic and market strengths and weaknesses – as well as advising on sowing times, crop protection and seed treatments – to inform growers' variety choices for harvest 2025 ⏭️

Don't want to brag, but I had the first pint... taste @MagicRockBrewCo X @SimpsonsMalt-Malterior Motive, 6%, Brown Ale in @CellarChester - Absolutely gorgeous, rich, fruity, nutty, biscuit. @ShitChester @BeersInCheshire @editorcamra @CamraChester @chestertweetsuk
