MAR25 WESTERHAM BREWERY
REVIVING A RICH BREWING HERITAGE
Established in 2004 the Westerham Brewery Company is proud to bring brewing back to the historic town of Westerham. With a rich brewing heritage, Westerham can once again be proud of locally brewed, top quality craft beers.
Producing exceptional craft beer for the local market, we support the initiative to reduce food miles in the supply chain. Many ‘national brands’ are transported long distances and suffer from poor storage and handling.
Westerham Brewery Company has revived many of the much-loved flavours of the old Black Eagle Brewery, which closed in 1965 following the catastrophic consolidation by the ‘Big Brewers’ in the 1950’s and 1960's.
Taster - 3 Beers, Session 6 Beers. Plus a Snack!
500 Miles
If we could walk 500 miles from the Gateway to Kent to the land of our forebears, we'd arrive in Stirling, Gateway to the Highlands. We'd need a couple of pints of heavy to quench the thirst. This would be it.
Helles Belles
A crisp, pale lager hopped with Hallertau Tradition from Germany. Our #1 best selling beer
British Bulldog
British Bulldog is a full bodied best bitter in the Kentish Ale style, packed full of Kent hops to give this ale its distinctive aroma and satisfying flavour. Recultured yeast from the original Black Eagle Brewery recreates the flavours of Westerham Ales as they were enjoyed by Sir Winston Churchill.
Spirit of Kent
The Spirit of Kent is hopped with 9 Kent hops in a total of 9 separate additions. Most of the hops are picked and dried at the National Trust’s only hop garden at Scotney Castle in Lamberhurst, Kent by hop grower Ian Strang. Ian is one of a dwindling number of noble hop growers left in Kent.
1965
Brewed to the same strength, the same recipe and the same yeast as the last beer of the Black Eagle Brewery that closed in 1965 after over 230 years of brewing. A rich, malty and hoppy Kentish Ale brewed with Greensand aquifer water, 100% Kent bred and grown hops and our heritage yeast strains.
Bohemian Rhapsody
Straw yellow pilsner lager (that means lagered or matured for several weeks) hopped with Czech grown Žatec noble hops with a distinctive hop aroma and bitterness usually found in Bohemian pilsners.
Viceroy IPA
Viceroy India Pale Ale is brewed with Greensand aquifer water, English malted barley and the finest Kent grown hops. It is fermented with Westerham Brewery’s own heritage yeast culture to produce a fruity and hoppy India Pale Ale.
Audit Ale
The Black Brewery in Westerham brewed Audit Ale throughout the early 20th century. Its fame was such that it was supplied to Clarence House for the beginning of the oyster season.
Audit Ale is a Kentish Strong Ale brewed with Greensand aquifer water, 100% Kent bred and grown hops, and the same recultured yeast from the Black Eagle Brewery as was used to ferment Westerham Ales up until the brewery's closure in 1965.
