13 Aug 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Mid afternoon visit, rare for me, after local Welling chores.
| Kent - Breakfast Oatmeal Stout | 4.20 | | Great one to start on |
| Cellar Head - Summer Pale Ale | 3.70 | | 1st out of new cask, very zingy. Zingy must be part of the brewery's style as another of its beer was such last night elsewhere |
| Hop Back - Summer Lightning | 5.00 | Not Tried | Ran out as I ordered, must have really run out at the end of the Sunday session here |
| Totally Brewed - Ninja Shark | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
10 Aug 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until 10pm close. Just one small group in in one corner.
| Hop Back - Summer Lightning | 5.00 | | 4½* Don't get Summer Lightning is this condition very often, apart from here |
| Kent - Breakfast Oatmeal Stout | 4.20 | | Great head and lacing |
| Cattle Shed (sub-brand of Old Dairy) - DDH Pale | 4.00 | | Heavily hopped indeed although with a strong citrus bent. Why the hiding of true Old Dairy brewing provenance on the clip I wonder |
