Small Batch Beers
Crafted with heritage.
Brewed for discovery.
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.
Our Small Batch beers are delivered through a 15-barrel brew kit and our first product, aptly named First Drop, was launched in October 2023.
New Zealand Hazy Pale Ale
Created by Apprentice Brewer Tom Smith at Shepherd Neame's Faversham Brewery, this New Zealand Pale Ale takes inspiration from his time exploring the country and his family's deep-rooted ties to it.
Fresh Dawn
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.
Table Beer
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.
XPA
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.
Gluten Free Pilsner
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.
Saison
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.
