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.

A coworker was kind enough to bring me this back from the UK. Westerham Brewery Kentish Pale Ale 4% Orange color with off-white soapy foam that leaves nice Belgian lacing. Sweet malty aroma. The taste has herbal notes that on first taste I thought evoked fresh hops. Further dips give tobacco, honeyed malts and a touch of acrid ashiness. I think I also get some diacetyl. To me this feels very English, it feels like it’d shine more on cask.

Keg @ Ravensgate Arms, Ramsgate. Black with a light brown head. It has an alcohol infused roasted nose, although a tad more subdued in taste - but obviously still full tasting given its strength.
