My last port of call on a Saturday evening. Roger Corbett was sitting at the bar, and we had a few beers before catching the last fast train home.

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 came down for a quiet midweek drink. Pub quiz was going on, didn't even know they did one here. Just sat behind the bar and enjoyed our beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | | Light, crisp and very refreshing. A top notch pale ale. |
| Camerons - Fools Gold | 4.00 | | Quite typical fruity and slightly malty pale ale. Pleasant enough. |
| Batemans - Hooker | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Original | 5.00 | Not Tried | My mate had the last of it. |

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. |

It must have been a long time since I was last here as the building has completely changed colour, the facelift looks good. I've missed these sunday afternoon sessions, great fun.

It always feels a little like coming home when I get here, odd that I leave it so long between visits. A dozen or so in tonight, just enough to make it feel busy. Sat and chatted to Andy about the various pubs we've got to visit. So many pubs, so little time.

First ones in at 7. Haven't been here in a long time so it was good to be back. Just a quick one then back on the road.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goffs - Jouster Ale | 4.00 | | Tasty dark malty bitter. Quite fruity with a little hop in there, really quite good. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dr Sunshine's Special Friendly English Wheat Ale | 4.20 | | I've never been this beer's biggest fan but I remember it being better than this. Very sweet and very cloying, not good. |

Popped in at around 10 after seeing Star Trek at the Granville. Quite busy for a wednesday actually. Briefly chatted to Eddie Gadd about random stuff. I wish I wasin charge of the beer here...

|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | | Light, hoppy and incredibly drinkable. |
| JW Lees (see also Lees) - Game On | 4.20 | | Pretty good. Malty and sweet with a hint of chocolate thrown in. Got a little cloying towards the end, but still pretty good. |
