Last stop on the work's tour before I could go home and have kippers. Busy but we all got a table eventually.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goacher's - Best Dark Ale (aka Original) | 4.10 | | Very nice. Bit fresh. Give it a day or 2 and it'd be top notch stuff |
| Potbelly - Hop Trotter | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Burning Sky - Plateau (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Mad Cat - Thanksgiving Winter Warmer | 5.50 | Not Tried |

Early evening. Surprisingly all seats already taken so we had to stand for our first pint.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hop Fuzz - Old American Pale | 4.20 | | |
| Turnstone - Atlantic | 5.00 | | Lots of heated debate with my colleague about the marking of this one. Tasted OKish, not off but was as opaque as a scrumpy perry with little condition. He would have marked as acceptable |

Mid evening - pleasantly busy.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - EKG Green Hop Pale | 5.30 | | Subtle green hopping - very nice - badged (or black boarded in this case) as Canterbrew but at 3.8% |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | A little lifeless - but good flavour. Good measures when ordering by the quart here. |
| Westerham - Finchcocks Original | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Downlands (formerly South Downs) - Devils Dyke Porter | 5.00 | Not Tried |

Thursday evening - busy with good discourse - bell went at 21:20 though!

| Mad Cat - Oatrageous Oat Pale Ale | 3.80 | | Very smooth with good body. Moorish. |
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Knight's Ale | 4.60 | | Only a taster - but a rich old ale flavour - compllex. |
| Goody Ales - Bleangate Brewery - Good Health | 3.60 | |

Met up with Su and Simon and it was good to meet Jack (of this site) too. Not surprisingly we talked about beer. Good session.

Saturday evening, comfortably busy. Met up with Andrew through a mutual friend. Good chat about the origins of this site and reminiscences about past and present pub gems. And if your ears were burning we also had a bit to say about a number of the P&B regulars - all respectful of course.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frome (formerly Milk Street) - Funky Monkey (organic) | 4.00 | | Very good body with a slight sweetness. |
| Pig & Porter - Big K Irish Pale Ale | 5.20 | | Very good, a bit fruity. |
| Brighton Bier - Underdog | 4.20 | | Landlord's recommendation - nice crisp dryness. |
| Mighty Oak - Oscar Wilde Mild | 3.70 | | Good smoky flavour but died a bit in the glass. |

Mid Saturday evening - packed. We took our dog - she is now eligible for the canine photo gallery in the toilet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time and Tide - Calista IPA | 6.10 | | I could only have a taster of this but it was pure delight - great condition, full body and great bitter hoppy bite. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | | |
| Mad Cat - Mild Disobedience | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Sat evening - well patronised - Xmas jumpers have now even invaded micro pubs. Good buzz and I had a personal tour by landlord Nigel of the racking system. Bliss.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Springhead - Robin Hood | 4.00 | | Good session beer - in excellent condition - my friend stayed on this all evening. |
| Mad Cat - Golden IPA (previously Meaney's Golden India Pale Ale) | 4.20 | | Excellent condition and a good body. |
| Goacher's - Fine Light Ale | 3.70 | | Light in name and flavour. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dark Conspiracy | 4.90 | | Thick, black and liquoricy. |
16 Aug 2014 (Jack William)
Very busy inside and out - nice atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Hylder Blonde | 4.20 | | Great beer - didn't discern the elderflowers of which it was supposed to have included though. |
| Kent - Beyond the Pale | 5.40 | | Wonderfully dry with a slightly nutty flavour and lingering bitter hoppy aftertaste. Barrel finished shortly after - could well have rated 5 stars earlier? |
| Kent - Session Pale | 3.70 | | Zesty - went down very easily. |
| Goody Ales - Bleangate Brewery - Good Heavens | 4.10 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Tankerton, Kent, CT5 2AW.
A micropub in Tankerton Road which first opened on Friday 15th March 2013 located in 139B Tankerton Road. The name is a resurrection of the old Tankerton Arms pub which was highly regarded but converted to apartments sometime ago. The premises was formerly a tattoo parlour and the word Tattoo remains on the glass above the pub frontage. There is no bar counter and there are long wooden raised bench seats fitted to both the left and right hand walls each with 3 heavy chest-height wooden tables. At the back of the pub a glass door leads to the chilled gravity stillage room. A Unisex toilet with a double "kissing gate" entrance is provided. Sells real ales, ciders and red and white wine. Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year 2016. Subsequently moved to new premises, a few doors along, in late March 2018 to the former HSBC bank premises at 135 Tankerton Road, larger than the previous premises in all regards.
We have visited this pub 48 times, seen 148 different beers and tried 78 of them.
