15:00 visit. Three of Rockin Robins ales on. A shame we didn't meet the maestro himself, but we had good a session with Pedro and a couple of other branch members, plus, also in, local radio legend, Roger "Twiggy" Day watching his beloved Red Devils. This is a much underated former gbg. A good local type pub, that has stood on this junction for over 120 years.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rockin Robin - Hoppin Robin | 3.70 | | Nice condition. |
| Rockin Robin - Mildly Rockin | 3.70 | | Top condition and a good example of this style. Quaffed three of these. |
| Rockin Robin - Ding Dong | 6.40 | | The latest ale. In top condition, on gravity. More a barley wine type with it's sweetish hue. Good hoppy taste too. |

| Rockin Robin - Reliant Robin (superseded by 3.7% version) | 4.20 | Not Tried | Already sold out. |

The pub is found in Maidstone, Kent, ME15 9PY.
In Loose Road, one long bar in this family owned free house. Closed in late 2019 having been bought by the council to demolish in order to build a roundabout instead, a sad end to this pub.
We have visited this pub 36 times, seen 84 different beers and tried 79 of them.
