Evening visit thanks to the Loop bus service which makes micropubbing in Thanet so easy. 4 customers on high stools at the bar with entertaining conversation, worth earwigging, about trucking. Apparently the extra high tables and stools here came from The Conqueror.

I arrived soon after the current 16:30 opening time and there was already a good crowd at the bar, many of which appeared to be refugees from the temporarily closed Artillery Arms. Some delicious home-made cheese straws were available for nibbles on the bar.

| NauticAles (brewed at Four Candles) - Ark Porter | 4.50 | | |

We got off the train at Ramsgate and got on a Thanet Loop bus (£2.75 each for unlimited use!). NauticAles was quite a way up the Margate road. The landlord told us he brews his own beer using the kit at the Four Candles. I liked it.
| NauticAles (brewed at Four Candles) - Bitter End | 4.00 | | Brewed on the Four Candles kit. Mid brown. Red fruit. Toasted. Sweet. Lovely |
| Four Candles - All Black IPA | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| NauticAles (brewed at Four Candles) - Bosun's Whistle | 4.20 | Not Tried | |

Early evening visit. Only customer for most of my hour's stay. Guv Micky is a real character and very happy to talk about Micropubs, brewing and life. I like the look and feel of this place which is easily located on the frequent Loop bus service. Shortly before I departed a lady came in with a small dog that barked just like a seagull's call.
| NauticAles (brewed at Four Candles) - Bosun's Whistle | 4.20 | | Pleasant cool light brown bitter with orange citrus notes |
| White Horse - Wayland Smithy | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Bridestones - Smoked Porter | 4.60 | Not Tried | |

Opening time/lunch. My first visit, and stumbled upon this via the Loop bus, so made a swift stop. Nice micro, friendly, amenable guv'. Impressed. Not listing/scoring these days.
