Faversham Hop Festival & Talk
12/08/2010 by Jeff Sechiari.
Peter Tann has sent me the following note about his forthcoming talk and the Hop Festival weekend:
Jeff
When we met at that very good day out in Oxford and Witney, I mentioned that I was giving a talk entitled ‘The business of hops in the 19th century’. This is to be part of the annual Hop Festival in Faversham. The festival itself takes place over the weekend of 4-5 September.
My talk is scheduled for Thursday 9 September at the Drill Hall, Preston Street, Faversham, starting at 7.30pm.

Austen’s Regent Brewery, Ramsgate
25/06/2009 by ARAUSTEN.
I am researching my family history, and trying to add to any information existing regarding Austen’s Regent Brewery in Ramsgate. We have a fair bit of information regarding its history, but would love to discover more photographs or labels / documents regarding the brewery. To date we have one photograph of the original Brewery building which was purchased by Fleets brewery circa 1900.
The information we do have is that the brewery started in the late 1700s in Broad Street, by 1850 the brewery moved to new premises in Belmont Street, which was called Regent Place, and for the next 70 years the building was known as the Regent Brewery. The brewery had two pubs the Golden Ball and King of Denmark but supplied many more.
Gardner’s of Ash first leased the brewery buildings and finally bought them in 1927 but concentrated brewing at Ash and the brewery site was converted into a large hall for concerts and dances before being demolished in the 1950s. The Golden Ball remained until the 1960s and the King of Denmark traded up until the 1990s when it became a Noodle Bar.
Gardner’s of Ash continued the Austen link when Claude Austen was head brewer up until the brewery was absorbed into the Whitbread/Fremlins empire and demolished.
If anyone knows anything more that would be great

Woodhams Brewery, Rochester, Kent Established 1750
05/10/2008 by rochester.
Does anybody know where to find more information about Woodhams Brewery, apparently active in Victoria Street/East Row, Rochester from 1750-1918? Especially interested in what kind of beer did they brew, anyone who has old Woodhams bottles, any old pictures of the brewery and when was the brewery built and rebuilt?
