3 gadds on and a band lined up for later. Freezing outside everywhere but boiling inside.

A mild day and a good crowd in for a Monday afternoon. The Pub was far too hot but the 3 gadds beers were cool.

After 3 weeks drinking local rubbish yellow stuff in tenerife where they've had the coolest November and start to December on record its back to cold but sunny Ramsgit. 3 gadds beers available and the new East Kent Drinker out for a good read about all the pubs on the market.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 35.00ExcellentA fine pint under £4. For now. Heard Thorleys are raising their very reasonable prices soon.
