Mid evening's last port of call. A very good mix of customer types here, perhaps with a number of foreign students.

Evening visit, my first since the more permanent bar counter and handpumps were introduced with an array of keg taps.

A few in. Dark outside. I like this pub but it's a bit odd.

Mid evening seemed fairly quiet a couple of others at the bar however this pub has many other rooms hidden away, plus the acoustics of being surrounded by a plethora of books will soak up any hubbub of conversation.

| Tonbridge - Countryman | 4.00 | | This was the only cask ale on offer in sea of Brew Dog keg offerings and it was in faultless condition. Spicy aroma with a roast malts throat hit. Another pump had a Boutilliers clip turned around but I did not note which brew. |

The pub crawl continues. First visit since they went to brew dog beers as well as a new dispense system. The beer has improved but they now have some ridiculous prices.

| Boutilliers - Christmas Porter | 4.80 | | Very nice porter. I had to ask for a top up which was still short. |
| Vale of Glamorgan (VOG) - Dark Matter | 4.40 | | Didnt taste quite right for a rasberry porter. |

Woah what's happening to this place. It has a solid bar snd a huge row of hand pumps and keg taps (mainly brewdog). All the books are still around the wall though. Not very busy.

| Boutilliers - Ruby Anniversary Porter | 5.70 | | This is really good. Well crafted chocolate porter with enogh body to support the ABV without letting it take over. |
| Tonbridge - Union Pale | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Vale of Glamorgan (VOG) - Copper Bitter | 3.90 | Not Tried |

Afternoon visit with just one other customer when we arrived. This place has changed a lot since my last visit with an array of tall Brew Dog fonts on the bar at one end and a few handpumps at the other.

Lunchtime, first visit and with a pal from Buxton down too. Nice micro, friendly bar lady. Impressed, particularly with the full Brewdog stable.
Not listing/scoring these days.

The pub is found in Broadstairs, Kent, CT10 1LX.
Formerly the Albion bookshop this is now converted to a pub. From the same stable as The Lifeboat in Margate. Real ales from handpump. When first opened this was served from gravity behind a trestle table bar by the stepped entrance but this was subsequently converted to an L-shaped rough plywood bar counter. In 2016 cask ale dispense was converted to handpumps. At the time of opening the venue remained a bookshop too with all books marked for sale. Drinking on several levels including a staircase up to the balcony. Now has 8 handpumps and large array of keg taps on a more formal fixed bar counter.
We have visited this pub 38 times, seen 68 different beers and tried 37 of them.
