Whitstable Bay
This contemporary collection of beers takes its name from the popular coastal town of Whitstable, situated just a short distance from the brewery.
Master Brew
Master Brew is brewed using only the finest Kentish barley and hops and is Shepherd Neame's flagship beer in the brewery's Kentish heartland.
The "Local Hero" is a distinctive, mid-brown bitter ale, with all the hoppy aroma you would expect of a beer brewed in the heart of the hop country.
Hand-crafted by the Faversham brewery's talented team of experienced brewers, it is a well-balanced traditional ale.
Bishops Finger
Bishops Finger Kentish Strong Ale is a connoisseur's beer with excellent credentials and pedigree and is a silver medal-winner in the Daily Telegraph Taste of Britain awards.
It takes its name from the finger-shaped signposts which pointed pilgrims on their way to the tomb of Thomas a Becket in Canterbury and was the first strong ale to be brewed by Shepherd Neame after malt rationing was eased in the late 1950s. It is also one of the UK's oldest bottled beers, brewed since 1958.
Classic Collection
We are proud to be Britain’s oldest brewer and continue to brew many of the beer styles which made the UK the brewing capital of the world.
Many of our historic recipes have been revisited in recent years, but not until we had cracked their coded entries in our brewers’ logs.
Iron Wharf
Iron Wharf combines UK-sourced ale and brown malts with a sprinkling of roasted barley to deliver hints of roasted and chocolate flavours. This dark, ruby red tinted nitro stout delivers a well-balanced, silky-smooth finish, showcasing the expertise of the award-winning team at Britain’s oldest brewer.
