First pub on the Good Friday Thanet Tour. It's changed a lot since I was last here. Apparently the seating is from the Yard of Ale. Friendly people running it.

3 beers on and quiz evening. Boss was pleased to hear about magnus' review of the Conk, even though Colin, original owner was in the bar. I think he meant the second owners.

Beer	ABV	Score	Notes
Kent - Tech Noir	6.10		This stout was superb. Pity magnus could only have a half. I'm on my second pint.

18 Nov 2024 (Magnus Greel)

Mid afternoon and busy with regulars. Much more friendly and welcoming from the current licencees compared to the previous thus we enjoyed our extended stay.

Beer	ABV	Notes
Kent - The Quiet American	4.20	Hoppy pale ale straw coloured and immensely quaffable. Dangerous!
Kent - Tech Noir	6.10	Just a tentative half of this rich complex spicy porter with an instantly recognisable pump clip depicting the Tech Noir nightclub logo featured in the original Terminator movie.
Surrey Hills - Greensand IPA	4.60	A hoppier stronger version of Shere Drop.
