Virginia Hodge, Export Champion, Old Dairy Brewery says:  “We are delighted to be chosen again as an Export Champion by the Department for International Trade,  supporting other SMEs on their export journey. At Old Dairy Brewery we currently export to countries in the EU  but are looking to grow our exports to the wider world!  We’re always happy to share our experiences.”   Export Champions are successful, experienced exporters who volunteer their time to inspire others to grow their business internationally, for example by speaking at events and raising awareness of DIT support available. Through sharing their knowledge and expertise, they play an important role in increasing the export potential of SMEs and contributing to economic growth.

Established in 2009 in a converted dairy in Rolvenden, Old Dairy Brewery relocated to a larger brewery in Tenterden in 2015 in order to accommodate increased demand for their beers. Proudly brewed in the Garden of England, all beers use Kent hops grown within three miles of the brewery. Old Dairy Brewery also has a Taproom and Brewery Shop, which are open to visitors seven days a week, making it a popular spot for enjoying a pint of beer in the Ashford countryside.
