- Shepherd Neame Bishops Finger 500ml
- BRITAIN'S OLDEST BREWER. 1698 OVER 300 YEARS. FAVERSHAM KENT. Kentish Strong Ale Bishops Finger is named after an ancient Kentish signpost found on the Pilgrams 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". Bishops Finger - "At 5.4% it's near the knuckle." ALC 5.4% VOL. 2.7 UK Unit
