Rebellion Brewery are bringing some of Marlow’s brewing history back to life by reviving one of town’s favourite beers.

Winter Royal, which was brewed by the Wethered Brewery, just off Marlow High Street, was a favourite beer for many in the area and became one of their flagship beers.

After the brewery closed in 1987 Winter Royal production ceased, until this week when, using the same recipe, Rebellion produced a batch as a one-off special.

Stu Sutherland, from the brewery, said: “Rebellion are very proud to be part of the Marlow community and we’re happy to bring some of the town’s brewing history back to life.

“What makes our Winter Royal special is the fact we used only malted barley grown on Bencombe Farm in Marlow Bottom for the brew.

“The crop was harvested from the field immediately opposite the brewery earlier this year, it’s fantastic to be able to use such local produce.”

A limited supply will be sold in the brewery shop, but several pubs in the area will be stocking it over the Christmas period – visit www.rebellionbeer.co.uk for details.
