Beer & Beverages

The Beer

At Old Dairy our business model is to have a beer-wall full of unique beers and ciders you will struggle to find elsewhere. We buy in small batches, with an ever-changing wall meaning you can have something different on each visit. We get a few returning favourites and have a few permanent lines, however, we certainly keep ourselves busy with so much choice.

We always have at least one 0-0.5% / gluten-free / vegan option, if not more (depends on the week) From sours to stouts, radlers to best bitters, we cater for all in a seasonally appropriate way.

'Untappd' is a big part of the day to day running of the taproom. We use it to show off our menu, so you know exactly what's on before even walking in the door. Untappd is also helpful for ordering beer too, we use the ratings and reviews to be make informed decisions. Our customers use Untappd for rating beers, which can be useful when you're regular and want to remember what you've enjoyed! The staff use Untappd when they visit other places too. As a beer lover, I highly recommend, down below is a link to our Untappd page as well as the live beer listings.

It's not all draught...

We don't just stop at the beer wall. Cans allow us to expand our range and celebrate an even more diverse selection. Stronger percentages seem to be the most popular in the can section...it's nice to be able to take something unique home and maybe even share it...if you're nice I guess.

We do have a selection available in the taproom now, and launching soon there will be an online shop when you can either order postal orders or click and collect after browsing leisurely from a comfortable spot.

If you do come along to our taproom, enjoy something on draught, then fear not as we offer 2 pint takeaway cartons which keep draught beer for 1-2 days in the fridge. We'll give you a little discount if you continue to re-use it too.

We don't just do beer.

Our Wine List

We offer a wine menu that we believe is concise, yet curated. We stock wines which are a mixture of imported and local, sweet and dry and within a reasonable price bracket. We wanted to provide something for everyone. The person who just wants a chilled Rose after a hard days work, to the person who's keen to try local.

We also have a chilled red on special at the moment called 'Love Bite', a light and fruity red which is perfect for a summer evening.

A personal favourite on the menu is the Westwell Ortega, a beautiful local white that's dry, fresh, slightly tropical and zesty. Our house white wine the Neptune Sauvignon is our best seller, a fantastic price point for a New Zealand Sauvignon too.

We change our menu at least once a year, moving towards what the customers enjoy as well as giving us an opportunity to experiment too.

Gin, Spirits & Spritzers

We offer a wide range of local gins, our house selection is by 'Maidstone Distillery' as well as fruity and botanical options and a 0% gin too. We have a selection of Fever Tree tonics to accompany your craft gin.

We have a mixture of spirits to chose from including two locals vodka's to a local Ameretto as well as a few more familiar options such as Bacardi and Jamesons.

We also like to seasonally change our spritzer selection. We currently have 'Hugo Spritz' for the summer. In the Autumn/winter we usually have a mulled cider available.
