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.

Gravity cask at Lobster Pot, West Malling Badged as Sevenoaks Bitter. Copper colour with small white head that does not last. Nice malt/hop balance, bit more malty in mouth with good rich malt fruit followed by hoppy finish. Some goodish caramel and orange rind flavours and some roasted malts. Good strong bitter

Cask gravity Ashford Beer Festival Now I liked this a lot. I have had other Westerham beers and not been entirely impressed, mid brown colour with some tobacco/tea flavour some good greeen hops with hoppy finish. I could easily do a session on this

Cask (gravity dispense), White Cliffs Beer Festival, February 2005 Not had that many Westerham beers before but I liked the malty fruit on this one. It wasn’t overly agressive but that enabled this to slip down quite easily

Cask at Crabble Corn Mill Beer Festival. Very malty mid brown beer. Again does not do anything exceptional, a typical best bitter 2.7/5.0 Re-rate Cask handpull at The King & Queen, East Malling. Decent UK best bitter, nice butteryness to the fullish malts, decent earthy hops n nose and finish. VEry suppable. NO less than I would expect from an increasingly promising Kent micro. Even with 2 flies in it, this was good. Really well put together beer.
