Beer, otherwise known as the ‘Drink of England’, has been produced in Faversham for over 850 years and the Shepherd Neame brewery is open to visitors who wish to discover more about this proudly independent family company and its wide range of award winning beers.
From the Visitor Centre, you can join an award-winning guided tour, lasting 80 minutes, which will take you behind the scenes at this busy working brewery. Discover how history and heritage are combined with modern technology to produce our range of Kentish Ales and speciality lagers
You will learn a little of the ancient art of brewing; see traditional mash tuns; taste natural mineral water from the brewery’s artesian well; try some malted barley and smell locally-grown Kentish hops. The tour also includes ‘The Vaults’, which features an impressive display of historic delivery vehicles, a recreated cooper’s workshop, bygone pub signs and a collection of hop picking memorabilia.
Of course, we wouldn’t let you leave without sampling and the tour ends with a fascinating tutored tasting – audience participation encouraged! Finally, visit the Brewery Shop and pick up a souvenir, gift or some beer!
The whole visit, including tasting, takes approximately two hours. Tours run most days - advance booking recommended.
The brewery also hosts a number of special evenings and events, for more information please go to our website www.shepherdneame.co.uk
