Mid evening and fairly quiet. This place seems to attract the more younger ale drinker I've found - including myself of course.
| Four Candles - Citra Pilsner | 4.70 |  | Superb, crisp refreshing and zesty. Best beer this evening. |
| Kent - Cobnut | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Ripple Steam - Farmhouse Pale Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried | |

1900hrs just after and busy inside and out with folk enjoying the sunshine. We sat in the extended bar area.
| Hopdaemon - Golden Braid | 3.70 |  | Disappointing |

| Ripple Steam - Farmhouse Pale Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried | |

Few in on a blustery evening. Terrible smell from harbour. 2 beers on. Camra discount given.
| Isla Vale Alesmiths - Natural Blonde | 4.70 | | Top quality beer. Served at the right temperature and went down a treat. |

Just after noon - first stop after a 23 mile cycle from Canterbury. A few customers all outside. Margate fairly quiet for a nice Summer's day.
Bit disappointed in the negative signs here "do NOT lean your bike here"; "mobile phone charging costs 50p here"; and even "Skylarging" for "Skylarking" with no brewery listed - bit off putting - but very nice location.
| Isla Vale Alesmiths - Cock a Snook | 4.50 | | Peachy |
| Pig & Porter - Skylarking | 4.00 | | Rather cloudy but a lovely light citrus flavour. |

Pub number 1. Very busy but then the sun was out. Managed to get a table inside.
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | Really very good |
| Mad Cat - Platinum Blonde Ale (previously Meaney's Platinum Blonde Ale) | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Angels & Demons (now uses McCanns branding not its own) - Panama Jazz | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
15 Jan 2017 (Dosser)
Prices up to £3.50 for 2 of the beers but a 10% camra discount.
| Wantsum - Ravening Wolf | 5.90 |  | Rather lifeless |

I was wondering whether the old memory was beginning to fail me when I walked in here; until I read the bit on this website that says the bar has moved into bigger premises next door to where they were last time I visited. Human customers just about outnumbered the canine ones.
| G2 - Orion | 3.80 | | An amber-coloured, malty Bitter. |
| Bays - Autumn Ale | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| G2 - Sail | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| North Blyth - For a Few Dollars More | 4.10 | Not Tried | |

Margate was very busy today and this pub was no exception but thankfully most people were seated outside so I found plenty of space inside. Just time for one pint before heading off for a train that turned out to be cancelled.
| Caveman (latterly a cuckoo at Leatherbritches) - Neanderthal | 4.40 | | |
| Bank Top - Pavilion Pale Ale | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| G2 - Otava IPA | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Bank Top - Lunar Halo | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
