Afternoon visit to check it out for a possible cycle meet. Looked busy with late lunchers and a few drinkers - but there seems to be concern over the future of the pub.

| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Marmalade dry hoppy thing going on. Good condition. Grew up drinking this and always try it out of its home turf. A very good example of it here. Damn good. Had 4 just to be sure. |

Was walking in the area and guessed Ripple must have a pub. It was busy inside with people eating but there appeared to be a band about to play in the yard by the side of the pub so we sat there. The band hadn't come on by the time we left.

|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Whitstable Bay Organic Ale | 4.50 | | Plenty of bitterness and a bit of sweet malt. |

| Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
