HOPFEST ’24

We’re super duper excited, Hopfest is back this year. We get green hop beer from across Kent to be judged by industry experts and awarded best cask or kegged green hop beer and get one of our fine trophies. We offer bronze, silver and gold awards.

After the judging has happened during the daytime on Friday 25th October the public festivities begin. With a real focus on the green hop beer we will have a purpose built bar with all the entries available to purchase all over the weekend (through until Sunday 27th October)

There will be a list on screen plus printed lists. Plus we will have a solid, tried and tested kegged wall of a variety of beers that we love. The event is free but you will have to purchase a re-usable cup (these will cost £1.50 each) You can keep these and we will refill these all weekend long and forever more!

We will have live music spread across the weekend, see timings below:

Decades Showband – 8pm

Saturday 26th October
