Really nice evening, had to go out for a few pints.

|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | | Light, hoppy and refreshing. |
| Marston's - Wychwood Hobgoblin IPA (was Ruby Beer, was Hobgoblin) | 4.50 | | This is the "new improved" version. Ruby ale instead of dark and now only 4.5%. This is pretty pants really. |

Lunchtime session on the sunday, always a great atmosphere. Spent far too much money on raffle tickets, didn't win a thing, oh well.

Came in at around 8, good atmosphere as per usual. Wanted to stay all night but have a long day ahead tomorrow.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Six Hop | 6.50 | | Slightly hazy amber coloured with a frothy, off-white head. Big aroma of grassy, spicy hops. Sweet caramel balancing mouth puckering hops and a warming alcohol finish. Extremely good. |
| Batemans - Hooker | 4.50 | | Orangey golden. Some fresh tobacco in the nose. Caramel toffee, slight sweetness. Nothing special, but nice enough. |

Popped in as I'd been told they'd added an extra couple of pumps for ale. They're also now selling Biddingdens cider on handpump which is quite rare. Real friendly local pub, perfect place to come for a chat.

| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | | Tasty session bitter on good form. |
| JW Lees (see also Lees) - John Willie's | 4.50 | | Sweet with a caramel flavour to it. Quite pleasant. |

This pub is top notch. He does Archer's village as a regular and then varies the other pump. The beer's always been well served when I've been in and the rotating beers always been interesting. Excellent pub. Tonight there were a few regulars around the bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burton Bridge - Top Dog Stout | 5.00 | | Black beer with acrid bitter burnt malt flavour. The 5% shows itself as a buzz on the tonge after swallowing. The burnt bitter finsh lasts. Excellent stuff. |

I think this is a great pub. The landlord obviously cares about his beer and the atmosphere is relaxed. The local ladies darts team was in so it was quite a busy night.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Archers - Village | 3.60 | | A well kept pint of beer. A bitter-sweet session beer |
| Highgate - Fox's Nob | 4.40 | | Ruby brown beer with a sweet-bitter start and a slightly toasted malt finish. A good session bitter well served. |

I like this pub. It was quiet with a few people sitting around the bar talking about the forthcoming Planet Thanet Beer Festival.

| Potbelly - Beijing Black | 4.40 | | Took me a while to work out there were no hops in this. Slightly sour black beer with an oily sheen to it. Subtle burnt malt on the finish. |

| Brakspear (at Marston's Wychwood then at Banks's) - Organic | 4.00 | Not Tried | Came on after the Potbelly went off |
