Description
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.

Initial low key maltiness before the bitter coffee and chocolate take over. Sour berry edge. Light-medium bodied. Thin cream mouthfeel. Low key fizzy carbonation. Astringent finish. Enjoyable and... yes... mildly do.
