Not just for lunch, but any session! Brewed with Maris Otter, Imperial and Crystal Malts, this light ale has biscuit, toasted bread crust and nutty caramel flavours, with UK Goldings and Celeia hop flowers bringing floral and spicy notes with a tangy and refreshingly bitter finish.
This beer first appeared in 2008, and soon after found its way into JD Wetherspoon’s pubs in the UK. A representative visited Galbraith’s, tasted Mr G’s, and invited us to brew it for the 2009 Wetherspoon’s Real Ale Festival, where it was voted best beer by the festival-goers.

A classic Best Bitter with a full palate and lingering fruity / bitter finish.
First brewed by Keith in 1987 when he worked for Larkins Brewery in Kent. A recent upgrade has seen the ABV move up to 4.8% while the recipe remains relatively unchanged. A classic “Best” brewed using Maris Otter Pale Ale and Crystal malts with a smidge of dark roasted malt. Goldings hops throughout lend a soft “Old World” aroma and bitterness.

A nod to the beers that would have been served at the Eden Vine Hotel which stood across the road at 1 Mt Eden Road in the late 1800s. Ales of that time were generally very low in bitterness and malt forward and this is no exception. Rich and fruity, with malt flavours of Black Doris plum, wine gums, chocolate, caramel, and vintage port. Whole English hops add brightness and balance. This is an old-school, no-nonsense ale.

Man Of Kent shows strong but restrained aromas that East Kent Goldings have. There is bitterness for sure, but the rich malts used balance this beer out nicely. A dryness from hardened water that runs through the palate makes Man Of Kent very moreish, setting off the malt and hops in a game of ping pong.
