Maris Otter Pale Ale Malt Profile

Made from heritage two-row Maris Otter barley and traditionally floor malted, this iconic malt imparts rich, sweet malty and toffee notes.

Revered since the 1960s, it’s ideal for cask ales and infusion mashing, offering classic English ale character with unrivalled depth and flavour. Maris Otter was the dominant barley variety in the 1970’s, and remained on the NIAB Recommended list until 1989. It is typically low in nitrogen (protein) which makes it perfectly suitable for traditional English ale type, single temperature infusion mashing. Although modern barley varieties have higher yields on farm, it is still grown on contract and prepared into malt for many traditional and craft brewers who are prepared to pay the premium.

Well modified producing consistent extract within the standard ale colour range, giving sweet and flavourful worts.

Maris Otter has long been the favorite of English brewers for its brewhouse performance and rich, slightly nutty flavour.

An excellent malt for any English beer style.

All of Fawcett’s malt is still produced in their traditional floor maltings.

History of Maris Otter Malt

Maris Otter is one of the most celebrated barley varieties in the world today. It is a traditional two-row, low-protein, winter barley and today is considered an heirloom variety. It is praised by brewers for its flavor, low nitrogen, and how easy it is to work with, but disliked by many farmers because of its lower yield (when compared to modern varieties).

It had its beginnings in 1965 at the British Plant Breeding Institute (BPI), which, at the time, was situated on Maris Lane, in Trumpington, England. Here, the director, Dr. G. Bell and a team of researchers were trying to cross a spring barley variety with a winter variety. The idea was to create a barley variety that was both hardy and produced higher yields, similar to winter varieties, but also had some of the valued brewing traits found in spring varieties.

The breakthrough came when Proctor and Pioneer, two older varieties from the BPI were successfully crossed. Proctor, the spring variety, is a cross between a Danish variety called Kenia and a traditional English variety called Plumage Archer. Pioneer dates back to 1943 and carries the distinction of being Britain’s first commercially successful winter variety.

The new variety was dubbed Maris Otter. The name is a homage to the location of the BPI. Though, far less known, there are also Maris Mink, Maris Puma, Maris Dingo, etc.; all bred by the BPI.

Maris Otter dominated the British brewing scene until the 1980s when it slowly started to be replaced by newer varieties with higher yields and better disease resistance. At the same time, Maris Otter’s added cost (20 to 25% higher) caused recently consolidated bigger breweries to shy away from using it.

Another blow came in 1990 when the protections that made it a proprietary variety expired, giving seed companies less reason to carry it. It seemed Maris Otter would fade away completely.

But a few tenacious farmers and brewers hung on, determined to continue producing and using the variety. In 1992, two-grain trading companies, H Banham Ltd and Robin Appel Ltd, bought the rights to the Maris Otter brand. The companies then went back and reselected for a more vigorous seed stock and over the next 27 years managed to revive Maris Otter’s standing, making it one of the best-known malts in the world.

It is still grown in the same place it was 50 years ago. It does very well in the maritime climate of Norfolk County in East Anglia, England, and the variety has become almost as well known and loved in America as in its country of origin, with near a quarter of any year’s malt supply going to U.S. markets.

Maris Otter celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2015 with a celebration that included a competition of 50 beers brewed with Maris Otter. The two companies that helped keep Maris Otter alive have also received a Lifetime Achievement award from the All Party Parliamentary Beer Group.
