Shepherd Neame introduces LGC Pilsner
LONDON GOLF CLUB RAISES GLASS TO SHEPHERD NEAME WITH OWN EXCLUSIVE LAGER
A familiar name across London and south-east England, London Golf Club has a long-standing relationship with Shepherd Neame and we’re proud to have taken our partnership with the Kent brewery further this summer with the launch of our very own lager.
As well as offering familiar favourites from the brewers including Spitfire Amber Ale, Whitstable Bay Pale Ale, Singha Thai lager and Orchard View cider, members and guests have had the opportunity to relax and unwind over the last few months by sampling a glass or two of our exclusive London Club Pilsner.
Britain’s oldest brewer with more than 300 pubs throughout the south-east region, Shepherd Neame is an independent family brewer and pub operator, and has been based in the medieval market town of Faversham for more than 300 years.
Using water from its artesian well on site that has been used to brew beers since at least 1573, the Kent company still uses this same source of mineral-filtered water to craft its award-winning beers today, with around 80 per cent of the hops used in its ales grown locally in the Garden of England.
Committed to sustainable brewing – 97 per cent of the grain and hop used in the brewing process is recycled – it’s not just local drinkers who have had the chance to sample its award-winning brands in 2022 with its drinks showcased at many events throughout the year, including as the ‘Official Beer Partner’ of the 150th Open Championship in St Andrews. Shepherd Neame helped thousands of golf fans to celebrate Australian Cameron Smith’s victory in style as they raised a glass to golf’s newest Major winner in the bars at the Old Course and at bespoke outside bars around the course.
The original Thai lager Singha, which Shepherd Neame began brewing for the UK market earlier this year, Whitstable Bay Black Stout, Whitstable Bay Pale Ale and Orchard View cider on draught were all on sale at the Home of Golf, and we have a few suggestions this month to help you get the most from its range by combining a drink with a variety of dishes on your next visit to the club.
A quintessentially British icon, Spitfire Amber Ale complements pies, quiche and pate. Whitstable Bay Pale Ale, a brand Inspired by Creativity, pairs with fish dishes of all kinds, including smoked fish and rich fish pie.
Premium Thai lager Singha is ideal for enjoying with spiced fishcakes, Pad Thai and steamed rice pork balls. Both Orchard View and London Club Pilsner are refreshing and light, pairing well with burgers of all kinds and barbequed foods.
