Was behind the bar from 11.30-6 and then spent the next few drunken hours on the green enjoying the sunshine. Fantastic beer festival this year if a little messy, had a few bruises from rolling down the stairs but otherwise it was a smashing success.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Westerham - Grasshopper Kentish Bitter | 3.80 | | I love this beer, ridiculously drinkable. |
| York (now brewed by and at Black Sheep) - Centurion's Ghost Ale | 5.40 | | Top notch ale. |
| Frome (formerly Milk Street) - Zig Zag Stout | 4.50 | | Very nice stout. |
| Dark Star - Imperial Stout | 10.50 | | What possessed me to get a full pint of this I'll never know, don't remember finishing it. Do remember starting it though and it was lovely. |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Silver Top | 4.50 | | Looks a little like the copper top. Equally delicious. |
| Brew Wharf - Top To Bottom 69 Hop Ale | 5.40 | | Really nice hoppy pale ale, although for the world record holder in hoppiest beer, it wasn't all that hoppy really. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Double IPA | 9.00 | | Fantastic. |
| Abigale - Samphire | 4.10 | | Biscuity bitter, very nice beer but I'll admit I had high expectations and they were not quite met. |
| WharfeBank - Wispa IPA | 5.10 | | Chocolatey beer. I remember it being fairly tasty. |
| Kent - Black Gold | 4.00 | | Not bad, a little bland though. |

The CAMRA fast-queue got us in swiftly and I got my first beer in at 11:55. Winner. Sat with Ian, Chris and Bob in the quite area where Ian was pleased to hear the piped music. Mr Lowry came over to tell us about sulphur yeast and Blair served us quality beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Bock | 6.00 | | I don't like bocks as a general rule. Black, excellent condition, risen, overcooked omelet, sourness, got that vacant lager body but even so superb. |
| Frome (formerly Milk Street) - Zig Zag Stout | 4.50 | | Fruity, smoky, zingy roasted stout. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Double IPA | 9.00 | | I don't like double IPAs as a rule. What an excellent double IPA. No HCl on the finish. |
| Quantock - Wills Neck | 4.30 | | Light fresh passion fruit. Thanks to Chris for this. |
| Toad - The Davinci Toad | 5.50 | | Mahogany. Hint of fruit, bit of cardboard |
| Kent - Pale | 4.00 | | Golden yellow. Darkstar-ish. Cross between Darkstar Hophead and American Pale |
| Purple Moose - Dark Side of the Moose | 4.60 | | Ahhh, lacking in condition. Mahogany toasted some biscuit malt , bit of alcohol. |
| Green Jack - Trawlerboys Best Bitter | 4.60 | | Brown. Slightly metallic, Some fruit, hint of biscuit. |
| Kent - Black Gold | 4.00 | | Kent Pale with caramel? Not in great condition. |
| Farriers Arms - 1606 | 3.70 | | Been looking forward to this. Eggy aroma, eggy flavour. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Low & Behold | 2.80 | | Dark coloured. American hops and burnt sugar dominated. |
