To date (22 November 2009) this is Kent's newest brewery, albeit a micro brewery and capable of producing a maximum of 72 firkins a week (a firkin is a fourth of a barrel, nine gallons or 72 pints.) Set up by James Sandy in October 2009, he is intending to name the beers after pivotal events in Kent's history. They will include "1381" (named after the date of the Peasants' Revolt), "Turbulent Priest" (in honour of martyred Archbishop Thomas Becket) and "Black Pig" a dark stout, the name for the ships of the Spanish Armada, whose wreckage was washed up on the coast near Deal after they were sunk by the English fleet. As time progresses the above beers will also be available in bottles.
Latest information tells me that the brewery are going to move in Spring to a larger premises that will allow a 20 barrel plant to be installed, at Kent Barn, St Nicholas Court Farm, Court Road, CT7 0TP. In 2019 they opened a tap room title the "Wantsum Brewery Tap" at the brewery in St Nicholas at Wade.
