Jane was meeting a friend in Ramsgate and I'm on holiday this week so I took the opportunity to visit a few old friends (of the pub variety that is). I love the Montefiore Arms. This is my idea of a community pub. At one end there were 2 guys playing darts discussing their children’s GCSE results and at the other the landlord (who was drinking No.7 with a Guinness Top) was playing cards with some regulars. In-between was a chap (who I later chatted to at the Artillery Arms) who was drinking bottled beer. My pint was excellent and served in a proper Gadd’s glass. I was interested to see that the pub sign looked like it had had a run-in with a cannon ball. Great pub – one of my favourite in Kent.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | | Succulent golden beer with a drying grapefruit (hint of pink grapefruit) finish. One of Kent’s best in my opinion. |
| Beartown (latterly part of Manning Brewers) - Bearskinful (aka Premium or SB) | 4.20 | Not Tried |

Had a good chat with Andy today, perfect place for a quiet few pints.

| Hook Norton - Hooky Gold | 4.10 | | I do not like this. Served very well, but this was far too bitter and zingy for my liking. No, no, no. |

Quiet with just the usual faces. Needed a pint as I was bored out of my mind. This did the trick.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| JW Lees (see also Lees) - Scorcher | 4.00 | | Decent enough summer ale. Overly sweet and cloying, but still quite refreshing. |

Came in for a quick couple just before closing. Quiet, but then where isn't on a monday night?
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Potbelly - Redwing | 4.80 | | Reddy brown with a thick white head. Looks a bit better than it tastes, was by no means bad but compared to other Potbelly beers it was a bit poor. |
