South East England Wine-Kent Beer Festival

“Beer on the farm” is the unofficial motto of the Kent Beer Festival, which is held in a large barn on a working farm just outside the city of Canterbury.

Kent has a rich brewing heritage and you’ll find beers from all ten Kent breweries grouped together on the left-hand side of the barn. Other British beers are on offer at the other two bars. As well as real ale, the Kent Beer Festival also sells real cider and a wide range of mainly bottled foreign beers.

Please note that entrance to the Friday night session will be by advance ticket only. These will go on sale in June – see here for details of ticket outlets. The other sessions are free to card-carrying CAMRA members so why not join CAMRA now and save yourself the entrance fee!

I hope you enjoy the Festival and discover a beer or two you want to seek out in future.
