PGI status

My friends up the road in Faversham were successful in their application for PGI status on 'Kentish ale' and 'Kentish strong ale' back in 1995. The paperwork is brief, light on detail and surprisingly unspecific as to what defines 'Kentish' so I've written to the particular controlling body asking for clarification. I'll let you know.........

That's funny. I was looking at that same doc just a few weeks ago. I wasn't sure if they had simply applied or if it had been granted. Good to know. Definitely not as specific as the Koelsh document! :D

Thanks for the tip on Kolsch doc Barry - I'll follow that up.
The controlling body replied quickly, essentially saying the document was it, there was no more but I ought to speak to a chap at the ministry, which I'll do.
