Modern agriculture moved on to higher-yielding varieties (Barke® yields roughly 20% less in the field), but Weyermann refused to let it disappear, contracting farmers to grow it exactly to specification purely because of what it does in the glass. Like Maris Otter in England, Barke® survives for one reason only: brewers keep demanding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat the variety delivers is unmistakable from the first sniff of the crushed grain. BARKE® Vienna brings an intense malty-sweet character with gentle notes of honey and nuts — almond and hazelnut — over underlying toffee warmth, with a depth of malt aroma that standard Vienna malt simply doesn't reach at the same 6–9 EBC. In the finished beer that translates to a full, rounded body, a soft mouthfeel, golden colour, and a creamy, stable head — the complete malt presence that a Vienna Lager or Märzen is supposed to be built on. And the variety earns its keep in the brewhouse too: large, homogeneous kernels, superior diastatic power, excellent extract yield, high attenuation, and famously low beta-glucan levels that make lautering and filtration run beautifully. The wort even holds its colour well through the boil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWith high enzyme activity and a recommended addition rate of up to 100%, BARKE® Vienna carries a grain bill single-handedly — and a 100% BARKE® Vienna grist is arguably the purest expression of Vienna Lager there is, a style close to our own heart: we brew our own Vienna Lager here in Alkmaar. Where our standard Weyermann Vienna is the reliable everyday workhorse, BARKE® is the single-variety premium version — the upgrade for the brewer who wants the malt itself to be the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCrushed or uncrushed malt\u003cbr\u003eAvailable crushed or uncrushed.
