Welcome
Welcome to the website of the 2011 Kent Beer Festival. This three day event is the second oldest Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) beer festival in England. It is organised and staffed by CAMRA members.
“Beer on the farm” is the unofficial motto of the Kent Beer Festival, which is held in a large barn on a working farm just outside the city of Canterbury.
Kent has a rich brewing heritage and you’ll find beers from nearly all twenty two Kent breweries grouped together on the left-hand side of the barn. Other British beers are on offer at the other two bars. As well as real ale, the Kent Beer Festival also sells real cider and a wide range of mainly bottled foreign beers.
Please note that entrance to the Friday night
