Evening, last orders called just after 9, took me back!
Mad Cat - Platinum Blonde (previously Meaney's Platinum Blonde Ale) | 4.20 | | Delicious. |

Angels & Demons (now uses McCanns branding not its own) - Bombay Social | 3.80 | Not Tried | Keg, and pricier than each of the cask ales, even at such a low ABV. I don’t get it. |

Our monthly micropub trip was planned to be to the Handsome Sam - but this was unexpectedly closed just after noon with no sign of life. We hastily rescheduled to the TA. Good welcome for six of us and a few other regulars in. We mainly had four pint jugs and pretended they could fill 5 pint glasses - they nearly did!
Mighty Oak - Equinox | 4.10 | | Superb golden ale in fine condition. |
Koomor (contract brewed at Iron Pier) - Petal | 4.80 | | Unfined. Very unusual flavour, sweet and flowery I think. Enjoyed it. |
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | Not Tried | I’m seeing this nearly everywhere I go these days. Didn’t try it but it went down well with the others. |
Koomor (contract brewed at Iron Pier) - Earth | 4.80 | Not Tried | |

Wantsum - Golgotha | 5.50 | Not Tried | |

Micropub outing for the bus pass brigade. Nice and cool in the Tank. 7 of us had a very pleasant session ordering 2 and 4 pint jugs that seemed to come as very generous measures.
Cellar Head - Hop Project 001 (CF247) | 4.50 | | Correct ABV but actually number 7. A super ale. |
Cellar Head - Session Best | 4.00 | | |
Romney Marsh - Golden Ale | 3.90 | | New barrel - not as bright as I’d expected. |
Goacher's - Real Mild Ale | 3.40 | Not Tried | Went down very well with the mild drinkers. |

Wet and windy ride - needed a pub stop: Handsome Sam and Black Dog both closed, thank goodness for the TA. Good chat with ex CAMRA official Bob.
