The beer selection here I thought was very good.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | | An excellent strong bitter with lots of good fruit flavours and peppery hop on the finish |
| Harviestoun - Schiehallion | 4.80 | | Not quite right, flavours were a bit off, but still a very good cask lager. |

It was an odd one, I went in after work and there seemed to be virutally no beers on at all until the bar manager said, that they didn't have the pump clips for the festival ales on, so you had to read the backs of the pumps. Sounds odd and it was.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Maui Brewery Coconut Porter | 5.00 | | In the best form so far and I have just fallen for this beer completely. I love the depth in the mouth, the quality of the flavours, that slightly odd thing that is possibly the coconut and it really just makes you feel happy. |

Just stopped in for a pint to see if anything new was on, it wasn't but hey still lots of beers to try.

First day of the spring beer festival and they had a great spread of beers. Met up with a colleague and spent a pleasant hour chatting and drinking beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanic - Tomahawk | 5.00 | | A hoppy IPA with good toffee malts. Love it. |
| Hook Norton - Early Mist | 4.30 | | Super golden ale that just surprised me so much and gave it to my friend and he had 2 pints of it. Good hoppy quality beer. |
| Sharp's - Gentle Jane | 4.80 | | Pale gold, lasting white head. Faint Belgian yeast aroma. Good sherbert hop flavour and finish. It’s ok if just not overly adventurous. Good to have something different. |
| Jennings (since closure now brewed at Marston's) - Stickle Pike | 3.80 | | Gold/copper with lasting off white head. Quite light in flavour, some bitterness, decent fullness in mouth. OK light flavoured bitter. |
| Budelse - Capucijn | 6.00 | | Copper brown colour with lasting cream head. Sweet fruit salad on the flavour. No faults in brewing just terribly sweet and too sweet to be pleasant. |

Came to sunny Folkestone to visit Chambers beer fest and a few "top of the town" pubs. Firstly, had a look down the Harbourside area, and very depressing indeed! Brewery Tap (Tontine Street) being converted to flats. Shep's pubs, Princess Royal and Earl Grey both now boarded up. Back to town, quickly, this JD, as reported here, is an excellant church building conversion. Busy this Saturday lunchtime visit with more diners than drinkers, but reasonable service.

| Nethergate (was Nethergate Growler for a while then name reverted) - Mary's Ruby Mild | 4.50 | | A top mild served in top condition. |
| Leeds - Midnight Bell | 4.80 | | Having sampled four pints of this stunningly good mild in Maidstone the night before this visit, I was disappointed at the bland condition of this ale here. Had a word with one of the staff, but he thought it was ok! |

A very good range of beers was on offer, much better than I expected. I think I will visit this pub more often in future, especially now with the much improved rail services between Folkestone and Ashford.

It's funny, I'm liking this pub more these days. I sit in the back corner on the left and drift off. The Burns Night haggis offer was on, so I had haggis, a couple of pints and a whisky chaser. Nice.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanic - Black Ice | 4.10 | | Just one of the best cask beers in Britain, why isn't this brewed more? The malts, the mouthfeel the hops on the end? great. |
| Black Wolf (formerly Traditional Scottish Ales (TSA)) - Sporran Warmer | 4.80 | | Deep ruby colour, lasting creamy beige head. It's an odd fruity beer almost as though it has some raspberry alcopop in it. Odd and not very nice. Really like a ruby ale with a raspberry Belgian fruit beer stuck in it. No bad flavours like being off, just not very good. Couldn't finish it, nor did I really want to. |
