Each Small Batch beer is carefully brewed in limited quantities at our Faversham Small Batch Brewery, allowing our brewers to explore new styles, ingredients and methods on a smaller scale. These distinctive releases reflect our ongoing commitment to quality, tradition and innovation
Small Batch is delivered through a 15-barrel brew kit, and our first product, aptly named First Drop, was launched in October 2023
A deceptively sessionable delight. This pale golden ale pours with a full body that belies its modest 2.7% ABV. The delicate interplay of Saaz and Centennial hops in the whirlpool creates a subtle interplay of hop flowers and spice, while a dry hop of organic Hallertau Tradition adds a layer of earthy, herbal complexity. It finishes crisp and clean, leaving you wanting another sip. A perfect beer for any occasion.
Big citrus, bold tropical, and a touch of spice. This hazy golden XPA is all about the hops - Cascade, Centennial, Citra, and Nugget deliver a complex, juicy, and refreshing flavour adventure.
It pours a brilliant, bright gold. On the nose it's a refined, floral perfume. The classic spicy, herbal notes of noble Saaz hops are there, as they should be, but they’re grounded by a faint, earthy whisper from Kentish Challenger hops grown just down the road.
A brilliant pale straw-colour lager cut with fruit, this refreshing beer is bursting with the vibrant aroma and delicate flavour of juicy raspberries and mellow apricot.
This hazy pale-coloured beer is quite different to anything else we've brewed and is a nod to the traditional farmhouse ale style using Lallemand's Belle Saison yeast strain.
