Cask Ales

MASTER BREW BITTER This is the beer that Shepherd Neame is best known for in the brewery's Kentish heartland - a distinctive, mid-brown bitter ale, with all the hoppy aroma you'd expect of a beer brewed in the heart of the hop country. Well balanced, with a taste that's been described as "wonderfully aggressive, tinged with sweetness". Master Brew is brewed using only the finest Kentish barley and hops, and is the best-selling cask ale brewed in Kent. ABV: 3.7%

Seasonal Ales

	SPITFIRE PREMIUM KENTISH STRONG ALE Spitfire has been Shepherd Neame's runaway success story of the past decade, with soaring sales spurred by quirky World War 11-themed advertising which has won awards, hit the headlines, and had consumers clamouring for more. Originally produced in 1990 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Battle Of Britain, Spitfire has a lingering malt and hop flavour, with a well-balanced, lasting aftertaste. ABV: 4.5%
	BISHOPS FINGER KENTISH STRONG ALE Full-bodied with complex fruit flavours, Bishops Finger is a strong premium cask-conditioned ale brewed to a traditional Kentish recipe. What's behind the name? Well, a Bishops Finger is an unusual finger-shaped signpost still found in Kent, which once pointed pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. Only the finest malted barley, Kent hops and fresh water from our own artesian well are used in the production of one of Britain's best-loved ales. ABV: 5.0%

	GOLDINGS, SUMMER HOP ALE Goldings Summer Hop Ale is a light-flavoured bitter made with Kentish malt and fresh Goldings hops. Harvested from hop gardens within five miles of the Shepherd Neame brewery in Faversham, the beer is almost floral-scented, with a unique biscuity taste.

Lagers

	ORANJEBOOM PILSENER "The best draught lager in the world" according to judges at the 2002 Brewing Industry International Awards. A light interpretation of the Continental pilsner style, Oranjeboom has the full body and flavour you would expect of a lager with a heavier alcoholic content. Brewed by Shepherd Neame under licence from Brouwerij de Oranjeboom, Breda in Holland, this Gold Medal-winning 4.1% abv draught lager is perfectly placed to grow sales in the most dynamic sector of the UK lager market. The 'quirkily Continental' beer takes its name from the orange tree which symbolises the Dutch royal family tree. ABV: 4.1%
	HÜRLIMANN STERNBRAU Considered by its many devotees to be one of the finest lagers brewed in Britain. The brewing of Hürlimann is strictly controlled to ensure that the beer remains true to the original Swiss recipe.

	HOLSTEN EXPORT A traditional German lager brewed under licence in Faversham in accordance with Bavaria's strict Reinheitsgebot purity law, which is the world's first food and drink legislation!

Holsten Export is a distinctive, easy-drinking premium brew, particularly appealing to 25-40-year-old lager drinkers. The Holsten name, which formerly appeared on Tottenham Hotspur's shirts, now graces the strip of a professional team closer to Shepherd Neame's Faversham home - Kent County Cricket Club ABV: 4.7
