Beer

Taste of the outdoors

A refreshing beer, perfect for summer drinking

Inspired by Alfred Wainwright, whose classic books have guided generations of walkers around the Lake District, Thwaites Wainwright £1.79/500ml was launched as a seasonal beer, but proved so popular it’s now available exclusively at Waitrose, all year round. With soft fruit flavours and a hint of sweetness from the fine malt, it’s as refreshing as a long walk in the fresh air.

Pork in Beer with Thyme and Shallots

Rating 5 out of 5 stars Based on 3 ratings

This dish tastes rich and special, thanks to the addition of the beer. Leffe Blonde from Belgium is a dry, fruity, slightly spiced beer that blends particularly well with robust flavours.
