Went for breakfast at spoons on a hot morning for Lynnes birthday. However the beers were totally uninspiring. So to the Artillery for a much better selection.

Downlands (formerly South Downs) - Lost Weekend5.30GoodIn good condition but needed an ice cube on a hot afternoon.

Downlands (formerly South Downs) - Lost Weekend5.30ExcellentLovely stout, a tad too warm but this was solved by one ice cube.
Rooster's - Undiscovered Land5.60GoodSooo different. Medicinal, floral, unusual beer. Bit warm.

Mid evening's last visit.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - She Sells Sea Shells4.70AcceptablePerhaps my expectations were raised by how the Red Lion can serve its cask in such hot weather. This came across to me as a bit of sour hopping and bit too warm which if cooler would (might) have balanced out the sourness of flavour
