Last stop on my birthday saunter. What a gem. Shame that the beer was a little past its best.

A fleeting visit after a work meal out. Fleeting because I thought others were coming but it appeared to me they'd got the taxi home instead.

Early afternoon visit – just a couple of other customers present. What a great place. As a confirmed bookworm, I was so engrossed with the shelves of books and the pile that I had accumulated on my table that I nearly forgot to drink my beer.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Goacher's - Real Mild Ale3.40AcceptableVery dark, caramel-flavoured, hop-free mild. Not in the greatest condition here if truth be told.

The pub is found in Broadstairs, Kent, CT10 1LX.

Formerly the Albion bookshop this is now converted to a pub. From the same stable as The Lifeboat in Margate. Real ales from handpump. When first opened this was served from gravity behind a trestle table bar by the stepped entrance but this was subsequently converted to an L-shaped rough plywood bar counter. In 2016 cask ale dispense was converted to handpumps. At the time of opening the venue remained a bookshop too with all books marked for sale. Drinking on several levels including a staircase up to the balcony. Now has 8 handpumps and large array of keg taps on a more formal fixed bar counter.

We have visited this pub 38 times, seen 68 different beers and tried 37 of them.
