Lunchtime, hoping the Okells Saison would be on, alas still "coming soon". Could be some Kernel beers coming on when the fest ales run out according to the "real ale display". Not sure I'd make a special journey to come here but I have been impressed with the beer quality.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - American Style IPA | 4.80 | | Very enjoyable, probably better than the Titanic. |
| Titanic - Fit-Out | 4.50 | | Very nice I thought. Other reviews on this site aren't especially overwhelming but I liked this a lot. |
| St Peter's - Golden Ale | 4.70 | | Not as good as the Titanic. |
| Lees (see also JW Lees) - The Governor | 3.80 | | Sadly not to my liking, as with sample tried at the Tonbridge spoons all I can taste is apples. |
| Cotleigh - Commando Hoofing IPA | 4.20 | Not Tried |

Lunchtime, the beer festival has finished but we 8 had fest ales on today, the most I've seen here!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Morland Old Crafty Hen | 6.50 | | Very nice but a bit heavy going for lunchtime. Fruity, chewy and with a sweetish finish. Lovely! |
