My Story

Audit Ales were strong ales brewed by the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge to coincide with the annual audit feast.  Earliest references to these ales are from the 16th Century.  By the 19th century it seems Audit Ale was strictly for the use at high table to be consumed by the Master, the dons and their guests.

The Black Brewery in Westerham brewed Audit Ale throughout the early 20th century.  Its fame was such that it was supplied to Clarence House for the beginning of the oyster season. This Audit Ale is brewed to the same strength as that brewed in 1938.
