I knew that Tim Cox, a local Drewsteignton farmer and a contractor for the National Trust grew the malting barley for the Dartmoor Brewery. Yesterday I was on my way to Fingle Bridge for a Fingle Woods meeting with the Woodland Trust I saw this sign



Good to make a connection between local farmer and a local business



A healthy crop of barley – approaching harvest time

The characteristic ‘ears’ of barley

So … Jail Ale contains Dartmoor water and Dartmoor malting barley – excellent
