Mid Saturday afternoon. Well I walked into a baby's party,so having bought my beer I joined the hardy souls on the terrace and enoyed the stunning autumnal view over the valley towards Tenterden.

Welcome respite on a somewhat fraught Michaelmas Day.I sat at a bench in front of the brewery window. Alas, no Kent Green Hop beers today.

Early on a breezy Saturday afternoon.This is the third weekend that this new venture has been open. Unfortunately no cask ale available as it had sold out last night. Several folk in the bar ,or sitting outside.

The pub is found in St Michaels, Kent, TN30 6TG.
Brewery tap for McCanns on the ground floor of the recently decommissioned American Oast at Haffenden Farm, home of Hukins Hops.The brewery is in a glass sided extension to the old hop picking machine shed. The slightly sloping floor of the taproom is reminiscent of the approach to some kind of shrine to beer.A wall of keg fonts, together with a bank of handpumps.
We have visited this pub 14 times, seen 17 different beers and tried 10 of them.
