The Faversham Brewery is home to Shepherd Neame, Britain's oldest brewer - and while 1698 is the Brewery's official founding date, there is clear evidence that its heritage pre-dates even this period. Using natural ingredients, such as mineral water from the town’s aquifer and local hops, our brewers produce Kentish ales bursting with character and renowned international lagers. Our brewers blend art and science to produce award-winning beer we want you to enjoy time and time again.

As usual it is a nice stout, solid roasted malt, coffee, cacao, hop, we could say that it is a dry stout, just a pleasure, 11.04.17, at Prélaz, purchased at one coop, Prilly.

Pint in the Letchworth Spoons. I mean, at that price you can't argue. A fairly drab pale ale, some malt and hops but not a whole lot going on.

Overall - pretty good cask.
