Mid afternoon- half a dozen in mainly trying to outdo each other in getting rounds in. Very friendly young barman.

Quiet - no doubt partially due to the beer festival at the Barrel.

The front bar was full so we sat in the rear part which we had to ourselves. I have not listed all the beers as we could not see the menu from where we were sitting. The lady serving us said she had Goacher's Dark Star so we did not put too much faith in what we were being told.

I've missed the Parkerville. Walking in, it was like the last 6 months hadn't happened.

Lunchtime- first stop on a mini cycle tour of East Kent. 2 other beers on - a Gadd’s green hop was one. Good chatting with the two other customers - one used to work at the Hair of the Dog - my next stop.

Kent - Green Hop 20204.70ExceptionalMy first green hop ale this year. Absolutely delicious - probably haven’t got the name correct.

Quite busy really. Nothing wrong with that just not expected for a Thursday.
BeerABVScoreNotes

Wantsum - Black Pig4.80GoodPorter-like, or maybe dark-mild.
Northdown - Papworth Victory Best Bitter4.20GoodQuite thin body and well attenuated.

Early afternoon - I had cycled to the Butchers Arms - but alas it was closed - so thought I would try here as Andrew had noted it open. Glad I did, vey good beer and an interesting chat with a local (Alan) - who had been at the same secondary school as me - albeit 20 years later. Three ales on - but I didnt note the others.
