I was sent out for fish 'n' chips,and fancied some Maidstone beer on the way.Alas, no Goacher's.Busy, mainly with diners, on a Saturday evening.
Rockin Robin - Reliant Robin (superseded by 3.7% version) | 4.20 | | In the evening gloom, I miss-read the ABV of this beer, and thought it well bodied for 3.4%.Oat straw; a bit sweet for me,though peach and spice came through towards the end. |
Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Red Top | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
