Winners of Produced in Kent's Taste of Kent Awards revealed.

A Maidstone brewery which opened its own smokehouse earlier this year has won a prestigious gong for its beer.

Reliant Robin, by Rockin Robin Brewery, scooped the Beer of the Year prize at Produced in Kent's fifteenth Taste of Kent Awards last night.

It comes after owners Robin and Michelle Gordon opened the "Rockin Robin Smokery" in Staplehurst in January and relaunched "Rockin Robin on the Green" in Barming two months earlier.
