I'm going to edit this page fairly rigorously as it doesn't come anywhere near a NeutralPointofView. But please don't take this as negative criticism. I as much as you am a fan of real ale: please keep writing about it! sjc PS: most of the second para probably belongs in an article on real ale.sjc

the link to Old Thumper says it's brewed by Ringwood Brewery, not Shepherd Neame, is this an error or is Ringwood a subsidary of S&M, in which case this should be clarified quercus robur 23:11 Mar 30, 2003 (UTC)

Old Thumper is indeed a Ringwood beer, and as far as I know there's no relation between them and Shepherd Neame (S.Neame is Kentish, Ringwood is Hampshire or somewhere that way on). I'll take it out. --Camembert

http://www.faversham.org/pages/news_item.aspx?i_PageID=171231&i_News_CatID=1 describes research which suggests brewing in Court Street was taking place between 1550 and 1573.

With regard to the the list of beers, somebody should include Original Porter, a quite distinctive seasonal dark cask beer that has also been bottled in the past.
