05/01/2005 Entry: "Tour Britains Oldest Brewery"

Shepherd Neame Brewery Tours
Britain’s oldest brewer is extending its guided tours to include a tutored tasting session. Shepherd Neame has been creating ales in the historic Kent town of Faversham, not far from Canterbury, since 1698 – though brewing has gone on in the town for 850 years.

The beers carry distinctive names such as Bishop’s Finger and Spitfire.

The tour includes a brewhouse which features original 1914 Russian teak mash tuns, and there is a fully stocked shop. The cost is £5.80 (£5 senior citizens) including the beer tasting: advance booking is essential. Also new this year is an evening tour followed by a tasting session that matches beers with a variety of foods. Faversham holds its traditional Hop Festival on September 3-4.
