While discussing the particulars of beer and wine making, Barham befriended many who care about beer quality and wish to know the history behind it. Barham reaffirmed his brewing philosophy: "The beer of each place should reflect its crops, culture and growing conditions, and its production should benefit farmers."
聽了更多關於釀酒的甘苦談，同時也結交更多「看重啤酒品質，也想知道啤酒的背景來歷」的朋友後，蘭森更加確認他的釀酒哲學：「每個地方的酒都應該反映當地風土、物產與人文條件，更要以農民利益為優先。」
