Dovers Wine Brewing and Distilling Heritage
Market Square, Dover, Kent, CT16 1PH
Dover was once home to many different brewers including one of Kent’s largest, a major employer in the town who later merged with a rival both in business and by marriage. Only a trace of the brewery site that once dominated the town’s skyline remains while nothing remains of the distillers who were completely subsumed by a cliff fall, although their product lives on.
Given the towns heritage as a major port early imports of white rum were available in the town alongside Music Halls and pubs well known to members of the local Military Garrison, each with a tale to tell. The brewing and distilling tradition lives on in the town together with a number of Micropubs and bars.
