In 2016 Wadworth brewery completed an ambitious 4 years investment plan to move all aspects of the brewery onto one location.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW) Bristol, March 2019. Copper in colour, with a thin, off-white, head. Red berries, caramel, digestive malts, and a gently bitter finish. Ok.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW) Reading. I'm a big fan of elderberries. Each autumn my wife and I collect elderberries and make elderberry jam. I also make elderberry sauces to go with pork and lamb. I love elderberries. Do I was looking forward to this beer. It's an attractive deep mahogany colour with a loose beige head. There's toffee and wood to the fore, some lightly roasted malt and cappuccino, with a generic dark berry taste behind. There's a creamy texture, and a lightly dry finish with more wood it. There's a touch of leaf mulch, but it's not quite the full on elderberry flavour (ie blackcurrant mixed with woodland floor) thar I was hoping for. It's an ESB with fruity hints, that strays into porter territory at times. It's not a patch on my wife's jam, but I still quite like it.
