Hadn't been in since I got back to the UK so thought I'd make it my last pub visit before heading back to Oz. This pub is consistent, I love it.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | | Possibly my favourite session beer, this is just so drinkable. Light, hoppy and incredibly refreshing. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Rye Pale Ale | 4.00 | | Solid pale ale with a hint of rye. Good stuff. |
| Skinner's (now brewed by Goodh) - Betty's Big Sister | 5.30 | | Fruity and very malty ESB, I would happily drink it again. |

This is the best pub in Thanet for me and the only one on my itinerary for the day that was non-negotiable. Everything about this pub is what I want from a boozer. The landlord's friendly and knows his business.

The good old Monty 'Sunday session', the busiest a pub will get in Thanet. No seats left so stood in front of the bar and chatted about the upcoming Thanet beer festival.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brains - The Rev James Original | 4.50 | | Malty and fruity bitter, pretty good. |
| Newmans - Spring Cottage Biscuit | 4.20 | | Overly sweet, slightly malty with a hint of hops. Meh. |

3rd stop and it breaks up the walk back to Broadstairs nicely. The busiest of the 3 pubs we were in, and you can always expect a friendly welcome.

Just a post-cinema swifty tonight. Half a dozen or so people in, including Gray. We sat and discussed the pros and cons of remaking or making sequels to movies. We're an exciting bunch.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Black Pig | 4.80 | | Roasted malt and maybe a hint of chocolate. The flavours are good but I thought it was a little bit watery and not quite full-flavoured enough. |
