139. Wibblers (Essex) – Crafty Stoat 5.3% A truly special brew. Made to a recipe developed by the Durden Park Beer Circle to recreate the Stout brewed by Ushers Brewery back in 1885. Initially made with the assistance of members of the Craft Brewing Association and the UK-Homebrew Digest at the 2007 'Flocculation' With six different types of malt and a huge amount of English Fuggles hops this is a dark and complex beer.

140. Wild (Somerset) – Bibble 4.2% Brewed with Vienna Malt and Oats, an unusual mouth filling malt base. Hopped with beautiful Mosaic hops, renowned for their tropical fruit beauty, helped along with some nice orangey Amarillo hops both at the end of the boil and in the dry hop. It is unfined, so naturally hazy. A moreish bitterness is complimented by tropical fruit tastiness.

141. Windswept (Moray) – APA 5.0% As award winning IPA with smooth malts and a tangy grapefruit finish SIBA National Bronze 2014

142. Windswept (Moray) – Weizen (Wheat) 5.2% A cloudy effervescent hefeweizen bursting with bananas and caramel. Contrary to popular belief no bananas are harmed in the making of Weizen! Banana flavours in beer are caused by a class of chemical compounds called esters, in this case, isoamyl acetate which is produced by the yeast used to ferment the beer. These esters are very evident in Belgian style beers giving pronounced fruity flavours making them deliciously moreish.

143. Windswept (Moray) – Wolf 6.0% A dark Scottish ale and powerful brew named after the Wolf of Badennoch, infamous for burning down Elgin cathedral in 1390. It is the mainstay of our barrel aged Wolf of Glen Moray beers and the Werewolf.

144. Yorkshire Heart – Rhu Bar 3.7% Dark in colour with delicious fruity rhubarb flavours. Got to love living near the Rhubarb triangle!
