Shepherd Neame is proud to once again be among the sponsors of Faversham Festival of Transport.
Britain’s oldest brewer has been based in the market town of Faversham for more than 300 years. The independent family business boasts 289 pubs and hotels throughout London and the South East, from the historic heart of the City to the Kent coastline.
Perhaps best known for great British classic ales such as Spitfire Amber, which carries the Royal Warrant, Shepherd Neame’s diverse portfolio includes the Bear Island and Whitstable Bay collections. It also brews international lagers under licence including premium Thai lager Singha.
Shepherd Neame’s collection of vintage vehicles will be among those on display during the festival, parked outside its Court Street visitor centre in the heart of the town on Sunday (May 18).
During your time in Faversham, why not discover more about the historic brewery with an award-winning guided tour? Learn about the art of brewing and explore the methods and ingredients used, before enjoying a tutored tasting of Kentish ales and speciality
lagers with its beer experts.
And once you’ve sampled the award-winning beers on offer, it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy your favourite at one of Shepherd Neame’s nine pubs in Faversham, all within walking distance of the brewery.
