Popped in for a crafty pint with Adrian. The side room was busy but the bar was fairly quiet.

Jane and I came here to meet Ian and Martin and to have a pint of Master Brew (...well Jane had a cup of tea). Ah Master Brew... I'd been looking forward to this for ages. Shame it was so lack lustre. I think this pint has cured me of my unexplainable longing for Master Brew.

It was the day after Boxing Day, so there were a fair few people in Canterbury doing the sales shopping thing, and also people still on holiday and the clientele in the pub/hotel reflected that. I like this place very much though. Tastefully redeocrated and a cracking location on the weir.

| Shepherd Neame - Porter | 4.80 | | Some chocolate, but a bit powdery, no fruit to speak of and just a bit unintegrated with the flavours. |

Here with Ian on a fairly quiet early evening. I like the relaxed feel of this pub and there's plenty of seating.

Busy but it's a fairly big pub so you don't notice. Sat with Ian in the corner and talked about American things.

| Shepherd Neame - Late Red | 4.50 | | The first 3 or 4 gups of this were excellent but as the pint sank it became a bit lifeless and sickly. Plenty of caramalised malt with, I guess, fuggles as the hop. Well ballanced and good |

Here with Andrew. We got the sofa in the conservatory which is my favourite place to sit. Quite poplular in the non smoking restaurant bit. 3 Sheps beers on.

| Shepherd Neame - Late Red | 4.50 | | First of the season for me of this beer. Attractive brown colour with amber edges and lasting beige head. Served at a good temperature. Malty fruit aroma, bit of dry choc, plums. Fullish in mouth, bit of juicyness. Quite drinkable. I remember it being fruitier and not quite so dry. Especially on end. |

I think no. 8 and last on my crawl. When I got out of here I almost crashed my bike into the river so I thought that I should catch the next train home. I was sat in a leather arm chair in the conservatory. It is fast becoming my resident area of choice Comfy with newspapers and the sun. Late afternoon, I was in a good mood and loaded down with booze from the Good's Shed near Canterbury West station. Music is eclectic and sometimes wonderful, Gomez, Eels to Elvis and Johnny Cash.

| Shepherd Neame - Porter | 4.80 | | There may have been other beers on, I guess Master Brew and Spitfire, but I went straight for this. Black beer with brown edges. Roasted malts are good tempered by a yeasty sourness. Quality beer that is just so different from all these bitters. I have fallen in love with these dark sour old ales/beers |

They were playing Gomez when I walked in, so I was biased. Took my pint of porter and sat in the leather sofa in the conservatory and had a pleasant hour. Will come back

The pub is found in Canterbury, Kent, CT1 2AW.
Corner pub/hotel in Mill Lane near the River Stour. Once the home of Canterbury Brewery, an early Kentish micro-brewery, in the 1980s. Just a tad corporate décor wise. Nice location on the Stour with very attractive buildings around it. Long central bar serves up to 3 hand pulled Shepherd Neame beers. Conservatory and restaurant area around a corner.
We have visited this pub 29 times, seen 12 different beers and tried 10 of them.
