About
Over 30 varieties of hops are available in the UK, Maltsters are falling over themselves to be innovative in their treatment of barley, micro-breweries are seeing a resurgence. All this makes brewing truly an art form. So with the muse upon us we thought we would get creative and start doing this for ourselves. We’ve set up a micro-brewery at Brogdale Farm in Faversham in Kent. We live near-bye and it’s great for making deliveries across Kent’s North Downs. We’re hoping our beers will be enjoyed by people who have already discovered the delights of crafted beer and we want to cheer-on those new ale drinkers who want to join in with the ale revolution going on in the UK looking for something fresh and modern to drink. If what you’re looking for is “rock-bottom-cheap” and cold enough to freeze your tonsils this may be the wrong place for you, if you want taste and flavour and a genuinely delicious experience then welcome to Mad Cat Brewery and the craft beer revolution.

30/10/2025. Cask at Norwich Beer Festival (Castle Social). Good pour. Aroma is roasted, malted, citrus, aniseed, white pepper. Taste is very peppery, moderately sweet with underlying roasted bitterness. Very smooth, light carbonation. Liquorice and a peppery tingle in the finish. Interesting drop, and really rather nice.

Cask handpull at Nelson Arms Tonbridge. Black beer lasting tan head. Chocolate and blackcurrant aroma. OK condition. Quite light in body. Some dryness on the finish. Quite juicy in mouth. As I say quite a light porter given the abv.
