Black Kite Brewing

Canterbury

Black Kite Brewing is a venture founded by six friends who acquired a café and microbrewery from a relocating associate. Their café operates on weekdays from 8 am to 2 pm, offering freshly prepared meals, pastries, cakes, and beverages, crafted by an experienced chef and barista. Located near Stodmarsh Nature Reserve, the establishment invites visitors from nearby attractions and businesses to stop by. The team is currently preparing to commence brewing operations, aiming to produce quality beers using local ingredients and traditional methods. Their planned lineup includes a core range of beers, alongside special small-batch brews and collaborative guest creations. The brewery's name is inspired by the rare sightings of Black Kites at the adjacent nature reserve.
