Originally brewed to celebrate the tercentenary of Britain's oldest brewer, 1698 is a characteristically hoppy Kentish ale, and has Protected Geographical Indication, the same unique regional protection afforded to Champagne and Parma Ham. The ale matures naturally in the bottle and can be enjoyed fresh or allowed to settle for a few months to mellow. The natural effervescence produced by bottle-conditioning – the interaction of yeast and brewing sugars – gives 1698 fine, Champagne-like bubbles that further enhance the fragrance, flavour and overall drinking experience. A silver medal winner in the Taste of Britain Awards, 1698 has been included in the International Beer Challenge's World's Top 50 Beers and has won a Gold Award from the British Bottlers' Institute.
FAVERSHAM BREWERY Faversham Brewery is the home of Shepherd Name, Britain's oldest brewery. Located in the medieval market town of Faversham in Kent, brewing has continued at this location for centuries. Using natural ingredients, such as mineral water from the town's aquifer and local hops, the brewers produce characterful Kent ales and internationally renowned lagers.
