Shepherd Neame, have teamed up with fellow independent business Kent Crisps to launch beef brisket and stout flavoured crisps.
The hand-cooked crisp pairs the rich, savoury flavours of beef brisket with the roasted malt character of Shepherd Neame’s Iron Wharf Stout.
The dark, ruby-tinted nitro stout (4% ABV), launched last April, takes its name from Faversham’s historic wharf, alongsidethe brewery, where thousands of vessels were once crafted and launched.
Reflecting a shared commitment to provenance and local collaboration, the design for the crisps’ packaging celebrates Kent’s maritime heritage, with HMS Cavalier — located at The Historic Dockyard Chatham — featured.
To mark the collaboration, an official launch event took place onboard HMS Gannet at Chatham. It was attended by invited guests from across the food, drink, and hospitality sectors, alongside several Naval veterans.
“At Shepherd Neame, we’re passionate about creating beers that reflect both our heritage and our spirit of innovation, so collaborating with Kent Crisps on this new flavour has been a natural fit,” said chief executive Jonathan Neame.
“Iron Wharf Stout was inspired by Faversham’s shipbuilding past, and it’s been exciting to see its rich, roasted character brought to life in a completely new way.
“This partnership is a great example of how local producers can come together to create something distinctive that celebrates the very best of Kent.”
