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...

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.

First Ramsgate pub on the crawl and the best. I was the first one in at 12.00 and I sat at the bar chatting with Andy the landlord about pubs. A fair sprinkling of locals arrived over the next hour talking about horse racing and the freezing cold weather. Great proper pub with lots of activity and Gadd's beers in bottle to take home (so I did, 2 bottles of the 2007 No Tomorrow IPA)

| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | | Flavoursome session bitter. Good fullish mouthfeel, good pale malts and then a drying finish. Good flavour and just the right balance for a 3.8% session bitter. |

The ladies darts team were in, so it was never going to be a quiet one. We weren't very impressed with the beer so only had the one unfortunately.

| Brains - Top Notch | 4.40 | | I wasn't overkeen on this one, malty and quite bitter. Very boring pint. Meh describes it well I think. |

Just had 20 minutes to sprae while waiting for the bus, popped in for a very swift half. Very busy, with very little room to move. Eddie was in, I was really happy when I saw the Dark Conspiracy on.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dark Conspiracy | 4.90 | | Black, american style winter warmer. Used to be known as 'Fall Over' but apparently that promoted irresponsible drinking so Eddie had to change it. Really nice beer, sweet and chocolatey with a fair amount of carbonation. I liked it a lot. |

Seems to be a sunday tradition to come here now. Had the usual meat raffle on. A good laugh as always.

| Oakham - Bishops Farewell | 4.60 | | What a beer! Extremely hoppy, sweet with a little caramel. Oakham are quickly becoming one of my favourite breweries. |

Popped in for the usual sunday afternoon session. Usual bunch of locals, and the meat raffle. Unfortunately the beer was a bit lacklustre so we moved on after only one.

|---|---|---|---|
| Wadworth - Malt and Hops | 4.40 | | What an original name for a beer. This was bland, a little malt with a fair amount of harshness. Not nice. |
