Shepherd Neame Ingredients Area

Shepherd Neame Ingredients Area We are pleased to announce that for the second year running we will be hosting an interactive beer exhibition throughout the week.

If it's your first time at the festival make sure you visit the Shepherd Neame Ingredients Area where you will learn the fascinating process of beer production.

Shepherd Neame, famous for its Kentish hops, will be bringing hop bines from its home county and various types of barley. Visitors, guided by staff from Shepherd Neame's visitor centre, will be able to touch, taste and smell the raw ingredients which go into beer.

Just watch how hard you rub the hops between your hands - the smell can stay for days!
