Sambrook's Brewery is an independent brewery based in Battersea, London. Set up by my nephew, Duncan Sambrook in August 2008, Sambrook's Brewery aims to bring craft brewing back to the heart of London. We currently brew Wandle Ale using traditional methods and materials sourced locally from English producers. We are proud to 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 gives Wandle its distinctive hoppy taste and aroma. At 3.8% abv Wandle Ale is a well balanced thirst quenching session ale. Sambrooks can be contacted via sales@sambrooksbrewery.co.uk.
