1215 is a limited edition ale to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta. It is named after the year in which the historic document was sealed which established the rule of law and also defined the traditional pint of ale: “There shall be but one Measure throughout the Realm”. Between 1215 and 1300 the Magna Carta was reissued on several occasions with copies sent to the most important towns in the realm. As an associate Cinque Port Faversham was granted special privileges in return for its contribution towards the defence of the kingdom and was consequently granted one of the last copies under the seal of King Edward I. A traditional strong English ale 1215 (8% abv) is infused with medieval ale ingredients such as Mugwort Yarrow Woodruff and Fennel which were used before hops became proliferant. Only 1 215 bottle-conditioned beers have been released each encased within a presentation box bearing the signature approval of brewery president Robert Neame.
