Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Blue Top | 4.80 | A fine pint of this prize winning IPA. As Ed the brewer says, sometimes you want malt and hops,not uberhops. I could have drunk this all day. | |
Tonbridge - Ebony Moon | 4.20 | Almost as good as yesterday.My kind of beer-dark and luscious. | |
Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Gold Top | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Sun Top | 3.60 | Not Tried |
Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Tonbridge - Ebony Moon | 4.20 | A lovely dark,malty bitterish porter. Great stuff | |
Royal Tunbridge Wells - Sovereign Blonde | 3.80 | A pleasant crisp Golden. Decent hoppy session beer. | |
Abigale - Samphire | 4.10 | A burnished coloured best bitter, with a seaweedy taste. Not really my cup of tea, but I enjoyed it. | |
Westerham - Grasshopper Kentish Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
Westerham - Summer Perle | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Red Top | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Dark Star - Over The Moon | 3.80 | a really complex tasty dark ale with a great degree of hops-is it a mild, or something on its own? Not too strong, and not as sweet as the colour might hint. Excellent | |
Dark Star - Old Ale (aka Old Chestnut) | 4.00 | It was raining, sales were slack:what better than a warming rich glass of what could become my favourite old ale. Roll on winter! | |
Dark Star - Summer Meltdown | 4.80 | I love ginger in curries, perhaps not in beer. Good beer, but not really to my taste, but it did have the benefit of clearing the pallet! | |
Royal Tunbridge Wells - Royal Best Bitter | 4.10 | Another new one for me: I'd heard mixed views on this, but found it a perfectly acceptable Best Bitter-good dark amber colour, fruity and not too sweet. I could definately make this a regular. | |
Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Gold Top | 4.30 | My first sight of this beer on draught. A clean tasting golden ale, with a slight "burnt" taste that I'd noticed in its bottled form | |
Westerham - Special Bitter Ale "1965" | 5.00 | Not Tried | unfortunately this ran out before I could try it. |
