Two brewing powerhouses – heritage-rich Hook Norton Brewery and modern craft trailblazers Attic Brew Co. – have come together to create Wanderer, a refreshing and adventurous 4.2% Pale Ale. This unique cask ale is a celebration of tradition meeting innovation, brewed collaboratively at Hook Norton’s iconic Victorian tower brewery.

Wanderer is a modern pale ale that showcases a carefully curated blend of hops: Fuggles, Emperor, and Harlequin deliver aromas of grapefruit and peach with a taste of light tangerine notes. To push boundaries further, the beer is dry-hopped with CF314, an exciting experimental hop variety developed by Charles Faram Hop Development Programme. 

“We wanted to brew something that respects cask tradition but pushes it into new territory,” said Ed Clarke, Lead Brewer at Hook Norton Brewery. “Collaborating with Attic Brew Co. allowed us to blend our long history of brewing with their fresh approach to flavour.”

Rich and Harry from Attic Brew Co who helped brew at Hook Norton, added: “Wanderer is about exploration – in process, ingredients, and style. It’s been a great journey with Hook Norton, and we’re proud to put something this vibrant into pubs across the country.”

Wanderer (4.2%) will be available in cask at the brewery’s bars and in Hook Norton pubs across Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, and Worcestershire and discerning free houses.
