Thank you for all of your continued support, and we look forward to welcoming you at the Westerham Brewery Tap Room & Shop soon.

May 26^th 2019 marked exactly 15 years since the first brew by Westerham Brewery, who began brewing in a converted barn at Grange Farm, just outside the town of Westerham, Kent. The Brewery is now located in a purpose-built facility on Beggars Lane, Westerham, with a Tap Room & Shop on site. To commemorate the occasion, the Brewery played host to an all-day Beer Festival and an evening of live music entitled The Great Gig in the Marquee. Westerham Brewery also created a special 15 hop session IPA using 15 different Kent-grown hops.

The Beer Festival over the second Bank Holiday Weekend celebrated Westerham Brewery’s 15^th Anniversary by showcasing beers from Westerham and friends, as well as live music throughout the day and street food from Pizza Federicci, Jacob’s Ladder Butchery and The Moules & Bread Shed.

The Beer Festival was free to attend, and local residents were given a flyer which could be exchanged for a free Westerham beer at the Festival. Sunday night saw Kent’s own Pink Floyd Tribute band On Thin Ice perform The Great Gig in the Marquee. Guests were treated to a two-course gourmet dinner, as well as a choice of wines and Westerham beers.

Robert Wicks, Founder and Head Brewer at Westerham Brewery, said: “We are proud to have made it to our 15^th Anniversary still making great beer, even if we have a little less hair today than in 2004! Over the last 15 years the beer business has changed enormously, and we enter our next 15 years with a young team driving the business forward. Innovation of new beers and styles is at the forefront of our future.”

Here’s to the next 15 years of brewing in the hop garden of England!

It is a pleasure to be featured in this new trade magazine, further establishing Westerham Brewery as a supplier of award-winning beers for the gluten-free and vegan communities (as well as others). As one of the first breweries in the country to provide such a vast gluten free and vegan friendly offering, we are proud to be able to support those communities and provide them with delicious beer where so many others fall short. The gluten free community makes up about 13% of the population, with the vegan community making up 7%. However, those who are gluten free (either by choice or medical conditions) are often overlooked when it comes to beer offerings.

Here at Westerham Brewery we were one of the first breweries in the country to use a revolutionary new technology to break up the gluten chains in our beer, without affecting the flavour. We believe that going gluten free should not mean having to give up good beer, and therefore provide a wide-range of styles to suit any taste. All of the bottled, canned, and keg beer produced by Westerham Brewery is gluten free and vegan friendly.
