Westerham Brewery |
Established in 2004 the Westerham Brewery Company is proud to bring brewing back to the historic town of Westerham.
With a rich brewing heritage, Westerham Brewery Company has revived many of the much-loved flavours of the old Black Eagle Brewery, which closed in 1965 following the catastrophic consolidation by the ‘Big Brewers’ in the 1950’s and 1960's. Westerham can once again be proud of locally brewed, top quality craft beers.

Westerham Brewery Company has revived many of the much-loved flavours of the old Black Eagle Brewery, which closed in 1965 following the catastrophic consolidation by the ‘Big Brewers’ in the 1950’s and 1960's. Ethical and green issues are very important to us and we have embarked on various initiatives.
With water from the same aquifer that served the old brewery, the same yeast strains and some of the old recipes, we hope to capture the essence of what made Westerham’s ales famous.
The local water, which percolates through the Lower Greensand Ridge to the north of Westerham, is excellent for brewing pale bitter beers for which Westerham was once famous. We have drilled down our own borehole 90m into the Hythe beds of the Lower Greensand.
80% of our malts are supplied by Crisp Malting of Fakenham in Norfolk and our coloured malts are produced by Simpsons Malt.
80% of our hops are grown in Kent and come from Scotney Castle Estate in Lamberhurst and the Finchcocks’ hop gardens in Goudhurst.
Our yeast has been re-cultured the freeze dried samples from the Black Eagle Brewery which was held in the National Collection of Yeast Cultures
