THE OLD DAIRY BREWERY

We are a traditional microbrewery based in the heart of Kent.
Our passion for beer, along with hours of relentless research and testing,
have shown us how great beers should really taste.

The vision of the perfect pint was realised through our superb brewers,
who using local water, malt, hops, and yeast, produce our tasty beers.

Using our unique recipes, great ingredients, a custom designed brew house and a little bit of old fashioned brewing know how; we aim to provide the people of the UK (and perhaps further afield) a small range of superb, bitters, ales and stouts. Think traditional English beers but with a more retro-rustic bent.

We produce a range of core beers including: Red Top – a Best Bitter; Gold Top – a golden beer; and Blue Top – an India Pale ale.

We also produce seasonal and other beers such as Sun Top our low ABV extra pale ale – Silver Top cream stout – Hop Top our Double IPA – Copper Top premium bitter – and Tsar Top Imperial Russian Stout. Click on the beer name for tasting notes….

If you would like to know more about us and our beers please call us on 01580 243 185 or drop us an email at fineale@olddairybrewery.com

Meet the Team

Our latest staff addition Glenn Whatman has taken over driving duties. Previously having worked in the pub trade we’re sure he’ll have no trouble shifting the casks, though as our deliveries stretch across Kent and East Sussex they’ll be going a bit further than he’s used to.
