Falling Star
The Astronomer
Our Premium Golden Ale. 4.2% ABV. Brewed for the contemporary taste palate using locally grown and renowned floor malted Maris Otter barley from Warminster Maltings. Distinctive and complex flavours and aromas are delivered through a carefully chosen blend of Cascade, Willamette and Mittlefruh hops. The resulting balanced and refreshing finish is achieved through a combination of our pure Cotswold water and unique strain of yeast. A golden artisan ale.
Our bottled range is also available from selected South West retailers including; Marks and Spencers, Waitrose and The Coop.
The tale of the Falling Star
Established in the 1800’s, Wickwar Wessex Brewery is part of Wessex folklore. Stories abound, telling tall tales of our beer & how they came into being. Take Falling Star, a smooth & fruity ale; they say that 214 million years ago a meteorite crashed into the site on which our brewery now stands. Some say the stardust made its way into the water table and that’s why our beer tastes out of this world.
We don’t know the truth, but we do know that fables should be told over a pint.
