I must admit, I was a bit shaky after the Berry beer festival from the night before, so I reckoned if I cycled here from Ashford it would clear the cobwebs. It only partially worked. Good pub, I haven't been in years, and Ray and Angie have settled in nicely. Enjoyed bumping into Pedro.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Best beer I had at the festival. Glad to finish with a pint of it. |
| Kent - Beyond the Pale | 5.40 | | Good hoppy beer. |
| Goacher's - Real Mild Ale | 3.40 | | Hadn't had this in years. Good dark mild, very easy drinking. |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Snow Top | 6.00 | | Malty fruity some syrupy flavour on finish, some hedgerow fruit. Not very bitter but good fruits and malts throughout. |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Six Cow Bells | 4.20 | | Bit of diacetyl for me, but the caramel deep fruity flavours were good. |
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Knight's Ale | 4.60 | | Deep brown malty fruity best bitter. |

Two of us decided to come out by bus before the late evening services are withdrawn at the end of the year. Reasonably busy, and a good welcome from the landlord.
