February / March: One Hop Wonder (4.5%) 

You've heard of a Smash burger but have you heard of a SMaSH beer? 

One Hop Wonder (4.5%), a single malt and single hop (SMaSH) beer, focuses on the UK Chinook hop, offering citrussy and refreshing notes. This beer uses lager malt so will be a light, pale straw colour. 

Shepherd Neame has worked with local grower English Hops to take the pick of the newly grown British hops, with UK Chinook hand-selected by its expert brewers. This highlights innovation and a focus on unique ingredients by using a single hop variety sourced locally, exemplifying how Shepherd Neame supports regional suppliers and showcases specific flavours.

Brewed to commemorate the 85th anniversary of Operation Dynamo, this beer captures the spirit of resilience and camaraderie with its modest ABV reflects the brewing styles of the era, offering an easy-drinking, flavourful pint that invites reflection and appreciation.

This beer connects brewing expertise to historical significance by drawing on archival recipes, with a rich historical element engaging storytelling to deepen consumer connection.
