As the Wasted name may suggest, this “farmhouse ale” was brewed using 120kg of waste pears, croissants and brioche. Its sustainable credentials continue with packaging in recyclable glass. The hops and malt used in its production were also used by a local farmer for use as feed and fertiliser.

Brown bready malt, pear, tart apple, zesty lemon and straw.
