Beers Served At The Shipwreck Public House And Restaurant
At the Shipwreck in high season we pride ourselves with having a good selection of real ales and as much as possible keep to local brewers. We always try to have Adnams bitter running as this is a very popular beer and then have various specials from Green King brewery, Cliff Quay brewery and Harwich Town brewery.
We obviously cannot guarantee that any beer is on at certain times as this depends on sales. If you would like any more information than that given please feel free to contact us.
As we have now come to a quieter time of the year we are only running two ales which at the moment are:
Master Brew is brewed using only the finest Kentish barley and hops and is Shepherd Neame’s flagship beer in the brewery’s Kentish heartland.
The “Local Hero” is a distinctive, mid-brown bitter ale, with all the hoppy aroma you would expect of a beer brewed in the heart of the hop country.
Hand-crafted by the Faversham brewery’s talented team of experienced brewers, it is a well-balanced traditional ale, with a taste that’s been described as “wonderfully aggressive, tinged with sweetness”.
Delicate and devilishly drinkable, this quintessentially Kentish ale lays the county’s hallowed, herbaceous hops on a firm, biscuity bed of pale and crystal malt. Endowed with an inviting auburn-amber hue and a tantalising toffee-ish aroma, it’s an enlivening English ale that, given its unassuming ABV, pleasures the palate with a remarkable fullness of flavour.

Cask: 3.7%
A traditional dark ruby beer, delivering a full flavour. Full aromatic barley malts and an exquisite blend of hops combined to create a wonderful balance of sweet biscuit and subtle fruit flavours with a hint of chocolate bitterness 4%
