Kentish Strong Ale
Bishops Finger is named after an ancient Kentish signpost found on the Pilgrims Way pointing to Canterbury and the shrine of Thomas à Becket.
It was first brewed in 1958 to celebrate the end of austerity after the war. It was Shepard Neame's first Strong Ale after over twenty years of malt rationing.
Today it is produced to its own Charter: it must be only brewed on Fridays, by the Head Brewer, using Kentish barley malt, locally grown hops and the natural chalk filtered water drawn from our artesian well.
This unique beer was the first in the UK to be accorded a Protective Geographical Indication (PGI) by the EU. Andrew Jefford, describes it as "Rich fruit notes of gently roasted malts...with a dry lingering seville orange finish".

Lovely flavoursome ale
This was my grandfather's favourite and I seem to have inherited a liking for it too. Highly drinkable, but be careful as it'll go straight to your head!
