Late afternoon visit after a visit to the Green Hop festival in Dane John Gardens. It was fairly quiet to begin with and got a bit busier soon afterwards, I had a good chat with the girl behind the bar.

A bit quiet early Friday afternoon, picking up when we left. Here for the Beer Festival.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Downton - Chimera IPA | 6.80 | | Waited until last to try this. Dangerous and delicious. The high ABV is obvious but so drinkable. Stunning, I love this beer, perfect balance of malt and hops |
| Oakham - Scarlet Macaw | 4.40 | | Good bitterness match by a full malt body. |
| Saltaire - Cascade Pale Ale | 4.80 | | Nice but a bit lacking on the hops and bitterness. |
| Skinner's (now brewed by Goodh) - Lushingtons | 4.20 | | Nice but average. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Al Murray, The Pub Landlord's Beautiful British Beer | 4.00 | | A bit disappointing for a Gadds. OK but average. |

Excellent local free house. Warm welcome at all times. This weekend was the 3 G's and 2 C's weekend. Gadds, Goodys and G2 beers with Turnstone Brewery's Two Seas. All well kept, BBQ and live music on Saturday. Without a shadow of a doubt the best pub in Canterbury.
