Evening given 2030 hours. Place in darkness yet opening hours in window say open until 10pm. No other notice of reason for closure. Annoying for what is a destination Micropub.

Evening and solace after the blasting noise of the Rack of Ale. Dutch fellow and a Brit who has worked in Dutch apple farming were knocking back 8% Turners Russet like it had gone out of fashion.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Dairy - Gold Top | 4.30 | | A distinctive full on flavour |
| Angels & Demons (also uses McCanns branding) - McCanns Hockley Soul | 4.20 | | Nice soft tasting stout. Apparently a new brewing outfit in Capel-le-Ferne which I had not heard of despite its website saying it has brewed since 2015. Both here and nearby The Lanes have been supplied and sold the beers. Whether it is some sort of cuckoo brewer or contract brewing arrangement or full on brewer will no doubt become apparent |

Lunchtime visit, a good chat with Kathryn and Peter plus a few locals. I was informed that Peter and Kathryn are planning to move on in about a year and are looking for someone to take over the business. They assured me that this information was not given in confidence as they want the right sort of people to know that the business will become available.

Mid evening visit. A touring family was in the pub and the young daughter stood up and sang playing banjo, guitar, mouth organ (busker style) and bagpipes. Worthy of and got great applause all round.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weltons - American Graffiti Ale | 4.50 | | Don't normally give Welton house room but this was a most flavoursome pint |
| Hopdaemon - House Beer (For The Mash Tun) | 3.80 |  | Pretty average I thought |
| Weltons - Old Harry | 5.20 | Not Tried |

My first time in Dover for many years (since the old overnight ferry to Oostende ceased in fact). I’m in this lovely little pub just after noon and there are only two customers in ahead of me. It turns out that I know both of them, so we quickly plan a little pub crawl.

| Hopdaemon - House Beer (For The Mash Tun) | 3.80 | | A good-quality Bitter. |

Evening and last (4th stop) on a leap year birthday bash bus trip for ChrisE. Finally Happy Birthday was sung in unison prompted by Guv Peter from his pulpit. The house beer is aptly named Pulpit Ale but not badged as such yet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hopdaemon - House Beer (For The Mash Tun) | 3.80 | | Nice and clean tasting bitter |
| Great Heck - Proverbs 31:7 | 4.50 | | Surpringly sour hopped. Not sure how this taste style has become so popular |

Early evening, we were hungry so we took advantage of the facility to have a take-away pizza from the restaurant next door.

The pub is found in Dover, Kent, CT16 1JH.
Micropub situated close to the Market Square in Dover in the premises previously occupied by Pier Three. It has comfortable chairs (including several chesterfields) plus tables and chairs at the side. The pub has a 200 years old church pulpit instead of a bar. The licensees have stated an intention to set up a micro-brewery at the rear but it has not, to date, come to fruition. Has become renowned for its cask ales and a wide range of real ciders and perries, all sold under gravity dispense from a temperature controlled cellar room behind the pulpit bar.
We have visited this pub 25 times, seen 52 different beers and tried 26 of them.
