Carling British Bareley Farmers

Here at Carling, we believe that British barley makes better tasting beer, which is why we only source locally and make a point of knowing where all our barley comes from. That way we can check the quality of all the barley that goes into making our beer. We couldn't do this if it wasn't for the fantastic farmers that grow barley for us!


Just click on the bios to find out about the farmers who play a key role in supplying the barley we need to brew a great pint of Carling!
