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.

Cask-conditioned at the Harp, London WC2 23/09/09. Amber in colour with a white head. Sweetish, fruity aroma with some grassy hops. Flavour had a malty edge to start, before earthy English hops took over with a pleasantly bitter finish. Good.
