Friendly service but often busy with brewery chores. Nice sunny day, sat outside without too much disturbance from passing farm vehicles.

| Wantsum - One Hop Comet | 4.20 | | Light, crisp |

Sunday lunchtime cycle group meeting. 9 of us and another group of 4 cyclists. I think there was only three or four other customers. We sat in the sun and enjoyed the good ales at just £3.50 a pint.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - One Hop Comet | 4.20 | | Deliciously dry, pale ale in superb condition. |
| Wantsum - Hurricane | 4.50 | | Top condition - just a bit too sweet for me. |
| Wantsum - Black Prince | 3.90 | Not Tried |

Bus tour continues. Went to shivering sands but no beer over 4.7% so jumped back on bus to wantsum. Not a great selection considering what they sell in ramsgate. £4 squid for everything.

|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - UXB? | 4.60 | | Raspberry porter. Lovely. |
| Wantsum - Overland | 6.00 | | Quality hazy ipa...possibly keg. Therefore £4 a bargain. |

Sunday lunch quiet at noon but very busy by 2:30 by which time live music was underway.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - 1381 | 3.80 | | Peasants’ Revolt? Not if they were drinking this. Superb. |
| Wantsum - Black Prince | 3.90 | | Another in fine condition. |
| Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | | Past it’s best. Rather flat. |

Sunday lunchtime - a beer club brewery tour ongoing - the cost included “drink as much as you want” apparently. Loads of activity in and outside. A really good vibe - for a big shed!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Hurricane | 4.50 | | I almost felt guilty paying just £3.50 for beer this good. |
| Wantsum - Beer Day Special | 5.00 | | Traditional bitter with a bit of wellie. |
| Wantsum - Fortitude (was 4.2%) | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
| Wantsum - More’s Head | 3.70 | Not Tried |

Mid afternoon - surprisingly quiet. Bought myself a rather nice branded 1/2 pint sleeve glass for just £2.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Coronation Ale | 6.00 | | Just a half of this as I was cycling - I was severely tempted for some more though. I believe Wantsum has created two different strengths of this special event ale. |
| Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | | Not a lot of life in this. |
| Wantsum - 1381 | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Wantsum - Black Prince | 3.90 | Not Tried |

Made it at last! Mid afternoon, my first visit. Met up with a couple of cycling chums. Very pleasant and all cask beers at £3.50 a pint.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Miller's Mirth | 4.20 | | Super full body best bitter in top condition. |
| Wantsum - Godiva | 4.20 | | Single hop pale ale |
| Wantsum - Uprising | 4.30 | | Not very keen on this red IPA, rather lifeless. |
| Wantsum - Golgotha | 5.50 | Not Tried |

Huge crowd in for a birthday party. Lots of beers on, all at £3 a pint.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Transatlantic Fog | 6.00 | | Superb. A hazy IPA on keykeg but it will be available in cask at the Thanet beer festival in 2 weeks |
| Emelisse - TIPA (Triple IPA) | 10.00 | | This was brewed by Wantsum and was excellent. At only £3 a pint, I shouldnt have had as many as I did as I cant remember what happened next.... |
