Sambrook's Brewery // Wandle

Wandle Ale is brewed at Sambrook's Brewery in Battersea. A light ale at 4.2% ABV, it is named for the nearby Wandle River.


The beer itself is quite light and refreshing, a golden caramel colour. For food accompaniment Wandle goes well with poultry, seafood and fish - it is great with Thai food. Wandle Ale also makes a good session beer and can be enjoyed without food on a mild spring-summer day.

Wandle retails at around £4.20-£4.80/litre and is packaged in a brown 500ml bottle with smart blue-black-silver labelling. The overall feel is quite clean and polished for an independent brew, with a smooth, glossy label. Brewers should note that this bottled beer has a much better presentation than those still sold in unimaginative bottles with cheap paper labels.

CJ09/10 Enjoy chilled in Battersea Park on a warm summer's day. Great with spicy chicken/prawn dishes.
One of CJ's five favourite beers
