A brewery has been confirmed as the latest addition to a harbourside attraction.

Floc. Brewery is now welcoming customers at Folkestone Harbour Arm in The Goods Yard.

The outside area is made up of a selection of 10 independent bars and street-food kiosks.

Floc. was founded in 2020 and started as an at-home operation of brewing 150 cans per batch before branching out and selling beer worldwide from its brewery and taproom space in Canterbury.

The brewery is occupying the main bar in The Goods Yard, located just next to The Harbour Screen, previously occupied by the Angels and Demons brewery.

It is currently open at weekends only 12pm – 4pm until the end of March.

Paulo Kingston-Correia, general manager of Folkestone Harbour & Seafront Development Company, said the brewery has made impressive growth.

“Floc. offers everything we love to see from the innovative array of independent food and drink businesses on our site,” he said.

“The team are ambitious, they are offering something that is high quality, something that is fresh and new, and we are confident that they will be a great addition to our site, and a real hit with our audience.

“Floc. recently announced a number of expansion plans for 2024 and we’re delighted that this new bar on the coast sits at the very centre of their exciting next chapter.”

Ross Shields, Founder of Floc. Brewing, added the team is thrilled to embark on their “new adventure” at The Goods Yard.

He said: “Our ambition to join this vibrant venue, built by the Folkestone Harbour team, has now materialised, and securing a spot in such a dynamic environment is a dream come true for our small independent business.

“Our offer will include our core range of modern draft and canned beer, complemented by weekly specials fresh from the brewery. Additionally, we'll feature locally-produced Nightingale cider, exceptional cocktails by Black Lines, and a select wine list showcasing local and international producers.

“This marks our inaugural venture beyond Canterbury, and we extend our gratitude to the Folkestone Harbour team for their unwavering support and confidence in our vision for this space.

“We are committed to enhancing the already vibrant atmosphere of the venue and are optimistic that our selections will appeal to both the local community and visitors.”
