Sunday afternoon. 45 miles cycled with 10 to go - deserved a pint or two. Great eclectic decor here still - a real feast for the eyes inside magnanimously including an artwork signpost with pointers to all the other pubs in Wye for customers “feeling hungry”. Unfortunately the closest to real ale was Gadd’s in a polypin.
| Beavertown - Neck Oil (keg) | 4.30 |  | I checked the price first following my experience in Whitstable yesterday. Only £5 a pint so I had one. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 |  | Polypin. A bit warm and not much life in it. |

| Hopdaemon - Golden Braid | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Hopdaemon - Incubus | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Very quiet for a Thursday evening. We discussed the high prices that people are paying for Betamax video recorders.
| Burton Bridge - XL Bitter | 4.00 | | Bright but lacking condition. |

Mid evening friendly welcome a few others in. My first visit here and I liked it, cosy comfortable atmosphere we sat round the bar and chatted to the landlord.
| Rudgate - Brass Monkey Pale | 3.80 |  | Not quite to my taste, salty smoky meaty flavour hmm... |
| Burton Bridge - XL Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Blindmans - Beer Goggles | 4.20 | Not Tried | |

Friday soon after opening time, primarily to get information to update What Pub but also to have a beer. Quite busy and more coming in as I left, two people that I have not met before were working behind the bar and they seemed very keen on their beers.
| Bowman - Meon Valley Bitter | 3.90 | | |
| Skinner's - Betty Stogs Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

I had been here about ten minutes after the advertised opening time only to find it closed, I returned about 30 minutes later to find it still closed but I sat on the bench outside for a few minutes and the landlord turned up and opened the pub. We chatted about his plans to open another micropub in Charing which (if change of use is granted) will be called the Bookmakers Arms as Charing holds Point to Point races.
| Westerham - Single Hop Epic | 4.50 | | Single hop beer. A pleasant fruity ale. |
| Westerham - Finchcocks Original | 3.50 | Not Tried | |

Third pub of the evening. We got a seat. Interesting pub with a leg of ham hanging by the bar off which meat was being cut.
| Lymestone - Nose to the Grindstone | 4.30 | | Good condition. Bit bready. |
| White Horse - Village Idiot | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Portobello - Snow Flake | 4.70 | Not Tried | |

Evening. A double-header venue (The Tickled Trout the other) for our monthly Friday Evening Group, of which I was the last to arrive. Cooled jackets used on the casks rather than a temperature controlled cellar room which I think is a big mistake for beer care and serving.
| Cairngorm - Stag | 4.10 | | Good taste but as good as flat |
| Wantsum - Fortitude (was 4.2%) | 4.60 | | Flat and a chore to drink yet for some inexplicable reason I had a second |
| Dark Star - Sunburst | 4.80 | Not Tried | |

The pub opened up early for us at 5pm, we sat at the large table by the window and enjoyed a few beers before heading off the Tickled Trout. A fair number of locals took advantage of the early opening and the pub was busy by the time we left.
| Cairngorm - Stag | 4.10 | | |
| Wantsum - Fortitude (was 4.2%) | 4.60 | | |
| Dark Star - Sunburst | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
