Rather quiet on Christmas Eve afternoon considering its location.

|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Figgy Pudding | 4.50 | | Not too much spicy flavour fortunately, making it quite a pleasant Christmas beer. My score 15/20. |

Busy in the bistro, quite in the bar. Sat and looked out over the old rubbled car park and at the old, farm like, buildings next to it.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Black Prince | 3.90 | | Good condition. Black, roasted, light in the mouth, nice sweetness to it without being overpowering. Good stuff |
| Whitstable - Pearl of Kent | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Whitstable - Renaissance Ruby Mild | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Low & Behold | 2.80 | Not Tried |

Heading back to the station and probably had enough by this point. Again, a really good beer line up though.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

On a trip round Canterbury. Pretty quiet this evening. But this pub always supports Kent ales which I like.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Miller's Mirth | 4.20 | | OK bitter, but with some earthy hops on the end. Andrew would have liked this beer. |

Rather spartan and clinical place. Got spotted by Ian in here. Most expensive beer by ABV.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - More's Head (previously 3.4% & 3.5%) | 3.70 | | Served too cold so difficult to ascertain much of what was going on. Quite bitter with some hop flavours and not much malt I think. My score a somewhat generous 14/20. |

I had half an hour to kill whilst waiting for a watch battery to be replaced so figured I'd come here and read the papers - which is exactly what I did.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hopdaemon - Golden Braid | 3.70 | | In good condition. Slightly rich, tangy, nutty-nettle hopped bear. Nice |

Mini beer fest going on with around 10 barrels set up to serve beer on gravity. No 4 on the crawl
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

Pretty busy Saturday lunchtime. Football on the TV and lots of people eating to the left of the bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whitstable - Kentish Reserve | 5.00 | | Clear mid brown with constant foam head. Slight sweaty hop aroma. Good hit of fruit in the body and clear dry finish. Really very good and not a noticeably strong ale. |

I sat and watched the Sky News from the G20 protests and wondered where the world had gone so wrong from both sides of the fence
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | My favourite Gadd's beer. Brilliant in the fruit the malt and the hop bitterness. |

I sat and watched West Indies vs England in the cricket as Ravi Bopara got thumped in the head by a ball from Fidel Edwards.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whitstable - Winkle Picker | 4.50 | | Amber colour, lasting beige head. It’s a slightly cereally best bitter, some fruit on finish. It’s quite pleasant. A decent bitter. |
