Description
Established in 2004 by Robert Wicks, the Westerham Brewery Company is proud to bring brewing back to the historic town of Westerham. With a rich brewing heritage, Westerham can once again be proud of locally brewed, top quality real ales. Producing exceptional craft beer for the local market, we support the initiative to reduce food miles in the supply chain. Many ‘national brands’ are transported long distances and suffer from poor storage and handling.
Westerham Brewery Company has revived many of the much-loved flavours of the old Black Eagle Brewery, which closed in 1965 following the catastrophic consolidation by the ‘Big Brewers’ in the 1950’s. The yeast is re-cultured from the Black Eagle strain.

Bottle from National Trust Shop, Polsden Lacey nr. Letterhead. Malty aroma with grass and caramel. Copper gold. Creamy white head soon thins out. Medium bitter. Some underlying malts. Gains citrus and hints of sweetness. Thin. Slick. Slightly sticky. Average carbonation. Dry astringent finish. I guess this is an IPA - English aka a hoppy bitter. Fine.

Keg at Roost, Margate. Quite liked this place, which refers to itself as streetfood on sea; it does really good food in a friendly laid-back atmosphere. Just one beer on tap, but at least it's a local brew on rotation (often a Time & Tide seasonal). Unfortunately on my visit the beer was a lager. It was gold with a light prickly fizz and a white head. Light butter, with definite lager tendencies but a crisp lemon and grass finish that helped wash down a spicy but delicious chilli dog. I'm no fan of lagers, but when I'm forced to have them I prefer the Czech style. And this is not a bad example of the Czech style.
