Black Tor Brewery's Raleigh 400 ale was launched on 25 May at this popular inn, located on the High Street of Sir Walter's home village.

A few days later, thanks to a generous gesture by brewer Jonathon Crump, Raleigh 400 ale was enjoyed by guests at the opening of Fairlynch Museum's exhibition in honour of Sir Walter.
