Busy showcase for fine Kentish produce on a swelteringly hot Sunday.Had an interesting chat with the Old Dairy stallholder, who sells Kentish beers at Farmers Markets throughout the county,and reminisced about The Smarden Bell.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Red Top | 3.80 | | Nutty and botanical.Near the end of the polypin but in good order. |
| Nelson - Admiral IPA | 4.00 | | Chestnut brown,toffee malt,hint of bubblegum,some hops.Not really an old school nor a new style IPA. |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Gold Top | 4.30 | Not Tried | Sold out. |

Popular and well run showcase for Kentish produce. Many pies enjoyed with relish.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Sun Top | 3.60 | | A hoppy, sessionable pale ale. One pint of this, and the sun actually came out for thirty seconds. |
| Nelson - Dragon's Revenge | 4.30 | | Nelson isn't my favourite Kent micro, but this was a good amber best,with solid malts and a bittersweet finish. |

Well run food fair, with producers from across the county. For the nostalgic, someone was selling a goats cheese called "Fremlins".

| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Copper Top | 4.10 | | Lovely dark chestnut coloured bitter:roast root veg. |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Sun Top | 3.60 | | Golden pale ale.Citrus,ideal for a summers day. |
| Nelson - Spinnaker | 4.00 | Not Tried |

The first rainy Sunday for months. Crowds sampling fine Kent produce.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nelson - Loose Cannon | 4.30 | | I've not enjoyed Nelson's bottled beer, but this, on gravity , though probably "bright", but who's counting?-was a good amber best bitter, with a refreshing hop bite, balancing a fruity input from the malts. |
