Early afternoon with just two other customers who were from Canada. Clean set up with cask ales and keg beers being dispensed through the back wall behind the bar.

Afternoon - just a couple of other punters apart from our party of six. More like a normal pub than a micro - nice and airy, very clean throughout. We sat in the window and enjoyed the sun and people watching.

Whitstable - East India Pale Ale (or EIPA)4.10Good
Whitstable - Native Bitter3.70Good
Yeovil - British Summer Time4.50GoodExcellent condition- a little bland after ten Boutilliers beers we had earlier.
Daleside - Autumn Leaves3.40AcceptableCondition ok - but "brown ale" flavour not to my liking.
Brampton - Mild4.90Not TriedWow 4.9 for a mild - went down well with some of my group.

In by skin of teeth at 10.30pm close. The busiest of the pubs I visited tonight even at that hour.

Evening until 10.30pm close. Everywhere in Faversham seemed quiet tonight, this was no exception so felt a tad guilty keeping the barman there just for me.

Whitstable - Native Bitter3.70GoodFresh on
Beavertown - Gamma Ray (keg)5.40AcceptableNot silly London prices so gave it a try. Reinforced my view of new wave keg beers. Ugly bulbous branded glass, over-chilled, over-gassed and honestly painful to drink

The pub is found in Faversham, Kent, ME13 8PE.

A two roomed pub, in the style of a micropub, created from a glazing shop conversion in Preston Street which opened on 1st December 2016. Real ales, ciders and keg beers are sold from the bar counter in the bare boarded front room through a line of wall taps. More comfortably appointed rear room up three steps. Inevitably majors on selling products from the owning Whitstable Brewery. Closed autumn 2020 for refurbishment and re-naming. Reopened August 2021 with a re-launch and initial expectations are of it being expensive and possibly keg beer oriented and initially reported as selling no cask beer now. 2 handpumps were eventually brought into use in late 2022 to rectify this.

We have visited this pub 22 times, seen 59 different beers and tried 20 of them.
