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.

5.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Bottle at home in London - picked up at the Offy in Whitstable. Pours totally clear gold with a lasting, creamy white head. Simple pale grains in the aroma, a little lemon peel, damp straw. Light sweet flavour with further grainy, pale malt character, some grassy bitterness, moderate astringency, grain husk. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Finishes with a further astringent note, more grassy bitterness, husky grains, faint plastic, citric hops, some further peel. So so overall.

Bottle from Leighton at level 42. It pours hazy dirty golden with thick white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, bready, grass, sweet bread, muffin and a touch of old lady fart. The taste is dry, some bitterness, soapy citrus, grassy, hay, pine needles, grainy and easy peel with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Not so bad.

6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottle at The Thomas Tallis Canterbury. Very dark brown beer lasting beige head. Chocolate liquer aroma. More of the same in the mouth with some dark cherry flavour. Good mouthfeel. A little sour towards the end. The best of the 3 beers so far. Dry finish. Good chocolate malt and then a little sour cherry and plum flavour. Ok.
