Join Shepherd Neame’s award-winning archivist and historian, John Owen, for a specialist history tour taking in areas of the brewery usually hidden from public view along with documents and artefacts from the archives that are not normally on display.
John revealed in his book 'The Emergence Of Shepherd Neame' that brewing had taken place continuously on the current site since at least 1573; 125 years earlier than believed, but the buildings date back even further. John will lead the tour around many interesting architectural features dating from the 1400s, focusing on the brewery’s treasure trove of historic buildings and interiors. The tours will last around one hour.
Please note:- these tours do not include a visit to the brewhouse, other production areas, an explanation of the brewing process or a tutored tasting.
