Afternoon - just a couple of other punters apart from our party of six. More like a normal pub than a micro - nice and airy, very clean throughout. We sat in the window and enjoyed the sun and people watching.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whitstable - East India Pale Ale (or EIPA) | 4.10 | | |
| Whitstable - Native Bitter | 3.70 | | |
| Yeovil - British Summer Time | 4.50 | | Excellent condition- a little bland after ten Boutilliers beers we had earlier. |
| Daleside - Autumn Leaves | 3.40 | | Condition ok - but "brown ale" flavour not to my liking. |
| Brampton - Mild | 4.90 | Not Tried | Wow 4.9 for a mild - went down well with some of my group. |

The pub is found in Faversham, Kent, ME13 8PE.
A two roomed pub, in the style of a micropub, created from a glazing shop conversion in Preston Street which opened on 1st December 2016. Real ales, ciders and keg beers are sold from the bar counter in the bare boarded front room through a line of wall taps. More comfortably appointed rear room up three steps. Inevitably majors on selling products from the owning Whitstable Brewery. Closed autumn 2020 for refurbishment and re-naming. Reopened August 2021 with a re-launch and initial expectations are of it being expensive and possibly keg beer oriented and initially reported as selling no cask beer now. 2 handpumps were eventually brought into use in late 2022 to rectify this to complement the 17 keg wall taps.
We have visited this pub 25 times, seen 64 different beers and tried 23 of them.
