I noticed the for sale boards up on passing here a few weeks ago to which a work colleague confirms is definitely closed. Yet another on my 'to do' list I've sadly missed visiting.

Late afternoon - busy, but not with real ale drinkers. I am on a mission to capture all Canterbury pubs on "my map" by the end of the year - this of course will not necessary mean good ale tasting will be guaranteed. This takes me to 12.

Been a long long time since I've been here. In fact I think the last time was with Ian after bumping into the Shepherd Neame brewers and hearing that they liked brewing lager more than bitter.

Black Sheep - Best Bitter3.80GoodA little too cold and perhaps a little lacking of the zing this used to have when I used to drink it in York but still good.
