Westerham
Brewery launches first new permanent beer for four years

We
are proud to announce the launch of 'Spirit of Kent - XXX Pale
Ale', our first new permanent beer for four years. The beer is
being launched in partnership with the owners of the Kent
Spitfire and Biggin
Hill Heritage Hangar.
The
Kent Spitfire TA805 is a Mark IX Spitfire named 'Spirit of Kent'
by its owner Peter Monk as a tribute to those who lost their
lives flying in No. 131 (County of Kent) Fighter Squadron which
was formed during 1941. This unique squadron was raised from
donations sent in by the good people of Kent with ‘Spirit
of Kent’ always flown by the Commanding Officer.
Spirit
of Kent - XXX Pale Ale is a deep golden ale with citrus and tropical
fruit flavours on the palate. As befits a Mark IX Spitfire, the
beer is hopped with 9 Kent bred and Kent grown hops which are
added to the beer in 9 separate hop additions. We have also sub-titled
the beer 'XXX Pale Ale' to remember the Westerham Pale Ale that
was taken up to RAF Biggin Hill and racked into the auxiliary
fuel tanks of Spitfires in the days following the D-Day landings
in June 1944. These 'delivery' runs were called 'Mod. XXX Depth
Charges' and the beer marked 'XXX Joy Juice'. Click here for
more about this story. That really is the Spirit of Kent.
