Season 2, Episode 1: Beyond Beer: Exploring Barley in Food, Culture and History – with Keith Armstrong

In our first episode of season 2, we talk with Keith Armstrong, Head Brewer, Great Western Brewing about new barley varieties. Keith is head brewer at Great Western Brewing, and is enthusiastic about consuming barley. Barley is a high quality, nutritious grain, with a heart healthy label from Health Canada, but has been set aside for lesser grains in our diet. We discuss the status of barley, connecting consumers with barley and how making barley more accessible and familiar is good for us and barley growers.
