Owner of One Barrel Brewing, Mark Prior explains his brewing principle.
‘I like to keep things interesting by using as many different techniques, raw materials and ingredients, and fermentation and maturation processes as feasibly possible.
‘Brewing is as simple or as complicated as you want it to be.’
Mark’s background in brewing spans 15 years, during which time he has received a number of peer awards.
In 2008 he entered the commercial realm at a small microbrewery in the Barossa Valley, South Australia.
His desire for learning the science of the craft led him to complete brewing science courses at the University of Ballarat and The World Brewing Academy, Chicago, Illinois.
One Barrel Brewing is currently a one-person operation, nestled in one of Adelaide’s northern suburbs, Andrews Farm.
The name, The Silesian, was inspired by the Barossa Valleys famous Seppelt family.
After fleeing persecution from the Prussian Tsar, they settled in the beautiful Barossa Valley. One of the names put forward for the region was New Silesia.
