Steady afternoon visit in this wonderful old unspoilt boozer.
Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 |  | Say what you like about Shepherd Neame but in a world flooded by hazy, sour beers flavoured with candy and god knows what, IN my honest opinion a well kept pint of Master Brew is hard to beat if what your looking for is a pint of proper quaffable, session hoppy bitter. Served in excellent condition here. |
Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Wife of Bath's Ale | 3.90 |  | |
Butcombe - Original | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Are we allowed take-away entries?
Laurie the landlord is doing a takeaway service from the front door at £2.50 a pint. No choice and served in old plastic milk containers but very welcome all the same. I stood and stared longingly into the interior while my half gallon was drawn.
Hopdaemon - Session Ale | 3.80 |  | |

Late evening visit. I was served a very short pint by a barman who promptly disappeared towards the kitchen. When he returned I asked for a top up and was told that "10% below is O.K." I did get a full measure after some effort but I am not impressed.

Saturday evening for a very quick pint before catching a train. A good pub atmosphere tonight. There were four cask ales on but they were all ones with weird flavours or others that I did not fancy so I settled for a good old Sheps.
Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 |  | Superb Master Brew. |

I'm a rare visitor to the lovely city of Canterbury these days, but over many years I have tended to favour this pub. With good reason I think.
Iron Pier - Wealdway IPA | 4.50 |  | Such a drinkable IPA. |
Iron Pier - Barbe Rouge & Bramling Cross Joined at the Hop | 3.80 |  | Lovely brambly hop flavours. |

Long Man - Long Blonde | 3.80 |  | |
Salopian - Lemon Dream | 4.50 |  | Bit disappointed in this - not very flavourful. |

Late evening fairly busy as expected for this popular drinkers pub. We could've stayed around half hour longer had we known the train service was disrupted prior to our departure.

Kent - Old Jamaica | 5.10 | Not Tried | |

Lunchtime- my faith in this pub is restored. A pleasant couple of pints enjoyed with the soft hubbub of conversations ongoing around the bar.
Canterbury Brewers - Mosaic | 4.70 |  | Delicious - great body. |
Pig & Porter - Sky Without Sun | 4.50 |  | Strange name - I half expected this to be cloudy (geddit?) but it was clear and very palatable. Badged as an American Amber ale. |
