15 Mar 2013 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit - my first here. Opened on Monday of this week. Pleasantly crowded. Illuminated Guinness Surger unit on bar counter might invalidate it as Micropub status. Warm and airtight and very welcoming. A most welcome addition to Birchington's previously limited real ale market.

| Hop Fuzz - Martello (superseded by 4.4% then 4.5% versions) | 3.80 | | Ok but rather flat |
