WELL CHOSEN SUPPLIERS
Making beer requires top quality raw materials. It is not only important to choose the best quality materials, but we insist on choosing suppliers who share our values. We have put in place a supplier Code of Conduct to ensure that our suppliers put the same importance on the environment, their employees, and their communities, as they do on the quality of their product.
In addition to respecting these common values, we want our suppliers to be committed to developing a culture of trust and integrity at all levels of their business, and with all their partners.
Respect Human Rights and Labor Laws: Our suppliers commit to the elimination of all forms of forced labor, to combat child labor, to eliminate discrimination in employment, and to ensure the safety and security of all of their employees.
Ethical principle: Our suppliers commit to complete transparency regarding their actions, and to respect the laws in force in their country.
Environmental and Community Principles: We encourage our suppliers to use all reasonable efforts to protect the environment and to ensure that the impact of its activities on the environment is as low as possible. We also believe that it is important for our suppliers to get involved with their local community.
Warminster Malt
We choose to work with Warminster Malt as our primary malt supplier. It is partly thanks to them that our beers are so good. Warminster Malts stand out for their very low carbon footprint. Barley grown sustainably on local Icknield soils, continues to be modified naturally by hand, just as it has been for more than 165 years. Our very traditional and visible procedures deliver both pronounced quality and character.

INDEPENDENT AND LOCAL CLIENTS
We are committed to our region and strongly believe that together we are stronger. We choose to collaborate as much as possible with local and independent clients who are the true promoters of craft products. Our customers are delicatessens, specialty bars, restaurants offering fresh seasonal cuisine, and alpine huts that focus on taste and quality rather than cost and quantity.
Additionally, we deliver almost all of our beer directly to our customers. This helps us to better know our customers, and to cater our offerings to meet their needs. There is no better way to know what our customer needs than to visit every week and see how things are going, and also to see what we can do better. We value our customers and work very hard to satisfy them as best as possible.
