About The Beer:

Walsingham Wayfarer is a distinctive amber ale crafted exclusively for Walsingham Farm Shop by the award-winning Norfolk Brewhouse. This exceptional brew features honey sourced directly from the Walsingham Apiaries, nestled throughout the picturesque Walsingham estate. The result is a perfectly balanced ale with an enchanting blend of fresh citrus and floral notes.

Walsingham Wayfarer benefits from a harmonious combination of Maris Otter malt and the recently resurrected Chevallier malt, a heritage variety that had been dormant for a century. The British heritage hop 'Ernest' adds a unique character, enhancing the ale's depth and complexity.
