This lightly hopped, refreshing golden beer provides a delicate floral aroma that gives way to subtle sweet & citric flavours.
Inspired by the famous Lakeland fell-walker Alfred Wainwright, our master brewers go the extra mile too. They search near and far for quality English malt and hops and tirelessly craft unique combinations worthy of the Wainwright name, like this delightfully refreshing Golden Beer. Lightly hopped with subtle sweetness, a delicate citrus aroma and a gloriously golden colour. Enjoy
Alfred Wainwright believed there was only one thing more rewarding than a long walk, and that’s a fresh beer. So, in 1968, he generously decided to reward every person who walked the breathtaking Pennine Way with a free pint of beer at the end, from the Border Hotel in Kirk Yetholm. Alfred informed the pub owner of his plans and proudly handed over £50 (enough to cover 500 pints in those days). Little did he know how far so many people would go for a free pint! Soon, thousands were walking the 250-mile stretch every year and costing Alfred a fortune. But true to his word, he kept his promise to the end – the bill was estimated to be around £15,000 over four decades.
Like our Wainwright’s brewery today, Alfred knew that some things are Worth The Walk.
