Met up with a couple of friends here. Good atmosphere and always a friendly welcome from Alan behind the bar.

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...
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

I really have got to make the effort to get here more. Such a chilled out, friendly place to have a couple of beers. Chatted to the usual bunch at the bar then wandered off home.

Popped in for a swifty after seeing Watchmen at The Granville. Only five other people in which tends to be the usual for a wednesday. I don't think they're likely to improve that number until they start getting a little bit more motivated with the ale selection. I know it's not a bad beer but I really wish Doom Bar would just go away and not come back!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | | I always forget just how good this beer is. Only a couple of years ago I found it to be pretty mediocre. Sweet and lightly hopped. Exceptionally smooth, just a top beer. |

First day of spring, lovely sunny day. Sat chatting with Andy the landlord until Andrew and Martin turned up
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | | Good drinking bitter. I agree with others that this is now more a distinctive Gadd's beer |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 3 | 5.00 | | A bit like a stronger version of the number 7 and the best tasting No. 3 I've had |
| Otter - Amber | 4.00 | | It's a pretty good, sliightly fruity bitter. Good hop on finish. Quite rich in mouth |

Walked in to find Ian sitting at the bar with an almost finished pint to No. 7. Sat there with him for 40 minutes until Martin arrived when we went and got a table. There were a handful of locals sat around the bar watching the football. I really like this pub; it's got a great, relaxed, atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

The best pub we stopped in tonight. Was actually pretty busy which made a nice change after the other 2 pubs we'd been in. Only had the one when wandered back home.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burton Bridge - Golden Delicious | 3.80 | | Not very much too it really. Light and mildly hoppy, quite sweet. Inoffensive but certainly not exciting. |

The new Thanet Camra pub of the year for 2009. I'm happy for Andy, this pub definately deserves recognition. Sat at the bar and tried to figure out with others sat at the bar how far it is from Birchington to Reculver...

| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | | An ever reliable beer these day. Dry and very hoppy, also very refreshing. Great session beer. |

It was been a long time since I was here, and I'm not sure why. Good to be back. All the locals were freindly as always. A nice, chilled out pub.
