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.

On tap at Coach Works Ashford Boutilliers Tap Room. Black beer lasting tan head. raspberry aroma. rest of the beer. yes good raspberry no doubt. some dark chocolate. I think could be fuller. bit more malt depth. structure. still I mean it's a decent imperial stout made in Kent with raspberry fruit which 5 years ago you would never have seen. good.

On tap at The Made Inn Ashford. Turbid mango colour lasting cream head. Big mango aroma. Made with mango syrup I would imagine. Some bitterness on the finish. I mean it's pretty drinkable. but it's very fruity.

Bottle from A Hoppy Place, Windsor. Rich malty chocolate and coffee aroma. Lively - the cap pops and the contents overflows. Opaque dark cola brown. Thick light beige foam head. 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.
