Manitoba Mushroom Growers Association

Although barley is grown for food, about half the world’s production is used to make whiskey and beer. Like rye, barley is used as a flavouring agent. Barley also provides enzymes that convert starch from any grain into fermentable sugar that makes alcohol. Barley grows best on the Prairies and Manitoba is one of the most productive growing areas in the world.

Product Suggestion: Calona Artist Series Merlot VQA. A full, elegant merlot enhances this lamb dish. Visit www.liquormartsonline.com for more information.
