About
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.

7.2/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
500 ml. bottle. Pours copper amber color with a good white head. Something of floral hop overlaying light caramel for flavor. Medium body with near sharp, but creamy, carbonation. Ale turns bitter and bready. Develops more powerful flavors as consumption continues. Pretty dry and bitter finish.

Cask handpull at Market Porter. I like Westerham, but this was just so full of diacetyl that I drank about a 1/3 of a pint and left the rest. 2 fairly beer geeky people next to me, quite liked it.
