Shepherd Neame is an English independent brewery which has been based in the market town of Faversham, Kent, for over 300 years.[3] While 1698 is the brewery's official established date, town records show that commercial brewing has occurred on the site since 1573. Since the brewery's formation in the 16th century, ownership has passed in unbroken succession through five families. The brewery produces a range of cask ales and filtered beers. Production is around 180,000 brewers' barrels a year (180,000 imp bbl (29,000,000 L; 6,500,000 imp gal; 7,800,000 US gal)).[4] It has 303 pubs and hotels in South East England, predominantly in Kent and London. The company exports to 44 countries, including India, Sweden, Italy, Brazil, and Canada.[citation needed]
