Britain's oldest brewer, Shepherd Neame, introduces new Creekside juicy IPA to its permanent range

Independent family brewer, Shepherd Neame, has introduced a refreshing new cask ale to its permanent range – Creekside Juicy IPA(4%).

Creekside takes its name from Faversham Creek which runs through the heart of the medieval market town which has been home to Shepherd Neame for more than 300 years. 

The historic brewery is just a stone’s throw from the Creek, which played a pivotal role in Faversham’s success over the centuries as a trading port and shipbuilding hub. 

A pale golden Juicy IPA, Creekside offers bursts of tropical fruits courtesy of a combination of four hops - Challenger, Mosaic, Jester and Amarillo. With hints of orange and peach, it has a light, refreshing finish.

Its eye-catching pump clip design features a hand-drawn illustration depicting a boat sailing down Faversham Creek, surrounded by the town’s distinct blend of industrial surroundings and natural landscape.
 
Shepherd Neame Chief Executive Jonathan Neame said: “Creekside is a fantastic new addition to our portfolio, and I am particularly delighted to honour the heritage of our hometown with its name and design. Our brewing team have used their wealth of expertise to craft a refreshing beer which incorporates a collection of powerful hops while ensuring a well-balanced flavour and aroma. 

“This is an exciting time for Shepherd Neame, as we continue to invest in expanding our award-winning collection of beers, and we are confident that Creekside will prove popular with drinkers across our estate.”

It is the third new beer to join the brewer’s permanent range so far this year, with First Drop (4.3%), a refreshing Session IPA, launching in February, and Iron Wharf stout (4%) following in April.

Creekside is available now in Shepherd Neame pubs and hotels across Shepherd Neame’s estate of 289 pubs and hotels across Kent, London and the South East, with the full list here: snea.me/creekside.
