Shepherd Neame Bishops Finger Kentish Strong Ale Review - by Tower Bridge in London, England
Bishops Finger
Bishops Finger Kentish Strong Ale is a connoisseur's beer with excellent credentials and pedigree and is a silver medal-winner in the Daily Telegraph Taste of Britain awards.
It takes its name from the finger-shaped signposts which pointed pilgrims on their way to the tomb of Thomas A Becket in Canterbury and was the first strong ale to be brewed by Shepherd Neame after malt rationing was eased in the late 1950s. It is also one of the UK's oldest bottled beers, brewed since 1958.
Bishops Finger holds EU Protected Geographical Indication, recognising its unique provenance. Uniquely, it is brewed to a charter which states it can only be brewed by the head brewer on a Friday and that it must be brewed using 100% natural ingredients, Kentish hops and barley, and the brewery's own artesian mineral water.
Tasting Notes
Fashioned on a firm, fruity foundation of Crystal malt, this rich, ruby-coloured Kent classic belies its burly appearance with a complexity of flavour. Mouth-filling fruit, prunes, plums and dried apricot spiked with palate-prickling pepper, cinnamon and a soft bitter blood-orange finish.

Beer Goggles Reviews Website -
Named after an ancient signpost to Canterbury. First brewed in 1958 at the end of malt rationing it was the brewery's first strong ale for over twenty years. The beers good but I adore the bottle. The history and story of this beer are exquisite and somehow make it taste better.

Police kept busy with crashes in Canterbury and Alexandra
Alexandra Police are praising quick-thinking members of the public who saved a man after he drove into Lake Dunstan tonight. The man was driving along State Highway 8 towards Cromwell when he went off the road and into the water about 5.15pm. Members of the public who saw the accident unfold raced to the man's aid and helped him get out of the vehicle and lake.
