My first ever pint of Larkins was Traditional & happened to be at The Castle Inn, Chiddingstone. As a real ale buff I was amazed that this light yet totally easy drinking offering was too far from my Hampshire home. I didn’t realise that the brewery was just down the road. The last mouthful was as good as the first & I don’t give 10/10 very often.

Favourite ale in the UK, lower enough ABV to enjoy several. Tastes of home.

A gorgeous tasting beer, the Traditional is full of hop flavour, yet refreshing and light on the alcohol. Always tempting for a second pint!

We have served Larkins’ Tradition at our annual Jazz & Blues charity fund-raiser for 15 years, here in Iden Green. It is, without doubt, a lovely pint at 3.4% and one of the best in Kent. Thanks to all at Larkins for your continued support.

Larkins is an excellent brewery; I have never tried a more satisfying and moreish beer of 3.4%. I just wish more of their beers were on tap! I only tried their Porter once, and it was sensational.
