This traditional English ale is named for Dr. Izaak Walton, who often fished on the river Dove, on which Whim Ales was built, and he wrote what is believed to be the first book on the art and sport of rod fishing, The Compleat Angler. The brewery itself takes its name from a horse powered device called the “whim” which was used to raise and lower miners from the old lead mines which operated in Derbyshire many years ago.
