4 March 2011

For the second time in 3 years, Westerham Brewery's Audit Ale has won the silver medal in the SIBA National Champion Strong Ale category. The same award was won in 2008. Audit Ale has also won the gold medal in the Strong Ales category at the SIBA South East competition every year that it has been brewed and has been crowned Supreme Champion beer of the South East for the last two years. Audit Ale is brewed to the same strength and recipe of the old Black Eagle Brewery, as made in 1938. The label in based on a 1930's bottle label which carried the caption "As brewed at the Black Eagle Brewery for over 200 years". Should this now be updated to " for over 260 years"?
