Lots drinking outside on a hot day. Found a strong un. 3 beers on,£4.30 to £4.70 pint. More ciders than beers.

Beer	ABV	Score	Notes
Mad Cat - 9th Life Noir	5.70		Very unusual hoppy black ipa. Very much an aquired taste which didn't suit my palate. Served from a polypin lacking a head or lacing as you'd get from a handpump. The wife, however, loved it. I've never been sure whether black ipas really work.

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 Discussion on the size of pint glasses without lines. Is the beer a pint up to a flower...when there's no line.

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.
