Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Shepherd Neame - Cobtree Old Ale | 4.00 | Again, and surprisingly, it really was, that good! Had two samples today. | |
Moonshine (see also Cambridge Moonshine) - CB1 Best Bitter | 4.20 | ||
Springhead - Robin Hood | 4.00 | A new ale. | |
Brampton - Impy Dark | 4.30 | Still in good nick. | |
Wychwood (now brewed at Banks's) - Bountiful | 4.00 | ||

Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Brampton - Impy Dark | 4.30 | An excellant Mild, incredible amount of roasted malt flavours abound. | |
Derventio - Cleopatra | 5.00 | ||
Silver Brewhouse (formerly Raw) - Dark Peak Stout | 4.50 | Another superbly dark roasted ale. | |
Shepherd Neame - Cobtree Old Ale | 4.00 | First of the day, specially brewed for Cobtree, and this was actually a spot on ale. "A taste of bygone ages brewed from four types of malt and from a blend of Fuggles and Goldings Hops, freshly picked on the day from the museum, to give it it's unique aroma and dark brown colour." | |
Amber Ales - Samuel Slater | 4.20 | This was excellant. A "quadruple hopped American style amber ale" , no wonder it tasted so good! | |
Moonshine (see also Cambridge Moonshine) - Black Hole Stout | 5.00 | The new name for Cambridge Moonshine Brewery. Again, superbly dark and roasted malt taste. | |
Silver Brewhouse (formerly Raw) - Grey Ghost IPA | 5.90 | Excellant. | |
Spire - Brittainia Cream Ale | 6.40 | Excellant. | |
Moonshine (see also Cambridge Moonshine) - Budding Moon | 4.50 | Very gluggable! | |

The pub is found in Maidstone, Kent, ME14 3AU.
Annual beer festival held at the Museum of Kent Life just off junction 6 of the M20. Museum itself is excellent to wonder around and the entrance to the museum is included in the beer festival fee. Festival itself is held in a large marquee with seating outside and a large grass area holds most of the visitors. For 2010 around 60 beers plus ciders and perry plus live music all day on two separate stages. Attracts a large proportion of families due to the museum connection. Recommended.
We have visited this pub twice, seen 63 different beers and tried 23 of them.
