First brewed in 2008. We brew Wandle Ale using traditional methods and materials sourced locally from English producers. We use Maris Otter malt from Warminster Maltings, one of the few remaining floor maltings in the country. We use a combination of traditional Fuggles and Goldings hops varieties, together with the more modern Boadicea hedgerow variety to flavour our beers. All of the hops used in the brewing process are whole leaf which give Wandle its distinctive hoppy taste and aroma.

Historical tick. On a Tooting pub crawl the guy who was organising it (having not been back for 20 years) was excited to see a beer named after the Wandle. Each to their own.

From cask at Queens Head, Piccadilly, London, 11.01.19. Clear dark straw colour. Fine white lacing, diminishing head. Aroma of caramel malt, dark syrup and bark. Good malty taste, with hints of overripe plums, nuts, bark and brittle.
