About
Shepherd Neame at Faversham in Kent (1698) is the oldest brewer in Britain — older than the Bank of England. Spitfire, Bishops Finger and Whitstable Bay span the modern range; the Old Brewery Store and the on-site visitor centre run tours of the original Victorian-era brewing hall, including the working oast houses where Kentish hops are still kilned.
