Taste of Kent Awards 2010

Forget X Factor, that's over, now it's the Taste of Kent Awards voting time. Click here to vote for your favourite producers and retailers of Kentish food and drink.

You'll remember back in 2007 when we won Best Kent Brewery? And you'll also remember 2008 when, after the organisers changed the category title, we won Best Kentish Beer with GADDS' Number 3 Premium Kent Pale Ale? We won it in 2009 too, for the same beer.

Well, this year the organisers appear to have reverted to the "Best Kentish Brewery" category. Perhaps, kind reader, if I shut up you'll have time to follow the link and vote for your favourite Kentish Brewery (please, pick one that uses predominately Kent grown hops). The top three, according t0 public opinion, go forward to a judging panel where the real battle commences.

There's a lot of new breweries in Kent these days so I imagine the battle could be bloody, and fierce.
