Mid evening visit. Most seats taken. The Cavalier stencil on the front door has gone, explained by the Guv as being the result of an un-apprehended yob booting in a number of shop windows in the road outside.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milltown - American Pale Ale | 3.90 | | Once again too citrussy for me. An APA doesn't have to default to that |

Evening visit. A place with a clear local following of regulars.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beerblefish - 1853 ESB | 5.30 | | Grim, no condition and a murk of a beer which was hardly pleasant to finish, a chore. An old recipe best left on a dusty shelf |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - DogBolter Dark Porter | 5.60 | Not Tried | The beer, I suspect, I should have plumped for |

The pub is found in Ramsgate, Kent, CT11 9DS.
Micropub in York Street that opened on Good Friday 2013 on the site of the Hovelling Boat pub which closed in 1909 (and re-opened 104 years later). No lager or keg beers are sold here. Other past lives of the building have been as a florist's shop and a fancy gift shop. A menu of the beer and cider on offer is shown on a wall blackboard then your drink is fetched (with table service) from a back room having been served on gravity dispense there. Under new ownership in spring 2018.
We have visited this pub 425 times, seen 422 different beers and tried 297 of them.
