The beer originally made to celebrate Rotary's Centenary is still being brewed and sold. Peter Scholey, our award winning brewer, continues to brew for the Hatfield club who are happy to supply at the same price as before:

£16 for a twelve bottle case of half litre bottles.

A case of Wheel Ale makes a great Christmas present and many lager drinkers have been converted to this very traditional English bitter made only with quality ingredients from the UK. All profits go to Rotary.
