Breakwater Brewery & Tap Room is a new small brewery and taproom in Dover, Kent.



Hi <<First Name>>,

An introduction

Breakwater, in both brewery and bar, is a bright addition to the fast moving modern beer scene in the UK. As well as the brewery, our space is a large comfy modern "taproom" beside and over looking the crystal clear waters of the river Dour, where you can enjoy our house-brewed beers brewed by brewer Phil Lowry as well as those that he has selected from far and wide around the world, dispensed from our custom back bar taps right there as well as cask beer from our dedicated cask cellar.



Our home Dover is drenched in history, but our taproom styled as a hybrid between contemporary brewery-tap rooms found up and down the west coast of the USA, the traditional German brewery tap with large heavy benches and lots of wood and the brewery being on show. With our beers, you'd have to sit on the brewery to get closer to where the beer is made!



Our beers?

Our aim is to strike a balance between two loves, the contemporary and the classic, staying true to the quality full flavoured beer that has been drunk over the ages as well as seeing where beer can take us on a journey into modern beer. So our "Dover Brewed, Modern Beer" is inspired by both the classic brewing heritage of Dover, like the long gone Leney's brewery and many others, as well as our friends and heroes around the contemporary independent good beer movement.



All our beers are brewed with our own spring water from the perfect aquifer directly beneath our brewery. Our own cask beers are served on gravity, made with the best British malts we can get, the best hops from near and far and using yeasts from our own collection. Plus we'll have up to 11 "draft" beers, a mix of ours and beers from friends near and far. As a selection, you'll find delicate bright golden hoppy cask ale through to beers from friends that push the envelope of what is being brewed around the world today. What will drive our beer choice is that, ultimately, we're beer curious.
