Two up top at Shepherd Neame

To celebrate the World Cup, Shepherd Neame has brewed a beer called 4-4-2.

Stewart Main, head brewer at England’s oldest brewery, has deftly blended 10 different hop varieties into a winning formation.

“Like a football team, a beer needs to have balance throughout with plenty up front and a sturdy foundation – we like to think we’ve achieved that with this beer,” said Stewart.
