About
We are Boutilliers, a small brewery based around the back of a farm shop in Faversham (Macknade fine foods if you were the curious sort.) Originally founded by 2 former uni buds, Boutilliers is now run by Rich, a former english teacher, and Drew, professional loud mouth. Our core focus is to brew creative styles and innovate with the resources we have to hand. When possible we like to use produce from local companies including tea and hops but we’ve not limited ourselves to this philosophy. Beer is an infinitely sprawling landscape with an equal number of potential possibilities, we don’t wish to simply make the same beer every time we brew, we want to explore, we want to play, we want our beer to be fun.

Closure announced on December 13th 2022.

Can. Hazy rich gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent carbonation. Malts are modestly sweet. Some grain. Trace of rye tang. Modest ripe orange fruits. Traces of esters and spice. Light dry finish. It's fine.

Keg @ Brewdog Brum. Pours a hazy reddish brown, medium off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, fruity. Taste continues with some soft fruity berry notes, light rye spice with an appealing sweetness. Drying close. Nice stuff.

Level 42 Bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton. Light haze on this gold beer, thin pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Dry pale malts, tang and papery. Mild tangy fruits. Dry finish. Not ticking any boxes for me.
