Mid afternoon friendly and welcoming, my first visit to this epitome of a back street local with a couple of chaps inside and a group outside. For some unexplained reason I failed to persuade ChrisE to call in here on our last few visits to Hythe, I can only put it down to another fallen craze pub!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Romney Marsh - Amber Ale | 4.20 | | Fruity almost tropical for this malty hoppy complex fare. |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Banks's - Young's London Original (was Bitter) - previously brewed in Bedford and at Wychwood | 3.70 | Not Tried |

After the thrill of leaving a wallet on a bus was over, we set off across the nearby park to the pub. Nice pub. Another first for me.

Lunchtime and a good crowd in what used to be the Public Bar. The main topic of conversation seemed to be about whether water softeners work or not.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Gold Top | 4.30 | | Too cold for my liking, and causing condensation on the outside of the glass. |

We used the right hand bar as the other one was absolutely full. A good atmosphere, and despite being busy, the service was very good.

14:00 visit. A beer festival on today in this lovely old back street local. Lots of ales on and a good crowd out in the garden area listening to the live (and loud) band. Amazingly, the pub is surrounded by many small houses!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Festiv'Ale | 3.80 | | Very tasty so gave it a 4* even though it's just under 4%. |
| Box Steam - Chuffin' Ale | 4.00 | | In pretty good condition. |

Quiet lunchtime session, with almost all the customers in the small Public Bar. My first visit here and it seems a very nice pub – I’ll forgive them the one iffy pint.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hopdaemon - Golden Braid | 3.70 | | A golden, hoppy, well-carbonated and refreshing pint. |
| Kent - Pale | 4.00 | | I know and like this beer, but this was not at all right. A nice pale colour, but a bit flat and a bit thin and the hopping struggling to shine through. And, oh dear, is that a faint whiff of acetic acid? Too long in the pipes perhaps. I would have returned it had I been on home territory. |

Quiet sunny Saturday. A few people in the real ale bar (where the pumps are).
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Franklins - TEA | 4.20 | | I was bit puzzled here. It said Golden Ale on the pump clip but came up brown and bitter coloured and tasted like bitter. A bit confusing like the Yorkshire Brewery now brewed in Sussex bit also on the pump clip. |
| Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | | I have not had this beer before and it tasted as if it was getting near the end of the barrel. |
| Westerham - British Bulldog "BB" (was 4.3%) | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Westerham - Grasshopper Kentish Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

Bank hol Monday lunchtime. Enjoyable cycle ride from Ashford and some new beers on. Funny out of all the pubs holding beer festivals this weekend this is the one I most want to come to. A real testament to the owners and locals.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Cat - Original | 4.20 | | Cask handpull. Clear amber colour lasting near white head. Beautiful lacing. Great condition. Great after a long cycle ride. Biscuit and herby hop aroma. Beautiful condition. Some bite on finish. As a brown bitter its good. Looking forward to the next beers. Touch of tea perhaps. |
| Hopdaemon - Green Daemon | 5.00 | | Not many cask conditioned lagers in the world. This is good what can I say? |
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Reeve's Ale | 4.10 | | Always thought of this as a brown ale as it is so malty. Just a little lacking in mouthfeel fullness but then I am super critical of condition. Good malty flavour though |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Spring Top | 4.00 | | Huge thanks to Henry for the cellar run. Mid brown beer. Toasted brown malt aroma. Fantastic in the mouth. Slight green apple hop on finish. I do like this bitter a lot. Some yeast character on aroma. |
| Westerham - Rob's Virtuous Ale | 4.00 | | Proper brown brown ale with some juicy American hops. Lovely |
| Goacher's - Crown Imperial Stout | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in Hythe, Kent, CT21 6BH.
Back street corner pub in Windmill Street, on the way out to the coast from the town. Public and saloon bars with decking and tables to the side for smokers and better weather. Wooden bar with 7 handpumps tastefully redecorated. Good pub feel and the number of pumpclips up behind the bar show the variety of beers they've had.
We have visited this pub 18 times, seen 57 different beers and tried 34 of them.
