Busy in here in the run up to Maidstone United kick-off time across the road. Whoever was feeding the juke box had good taste (or at least, taste which coincides with my own).
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Pale | 4.00 | | Reliably excellent pint. |
| WharfeBank - Spring Hop | 4.30 |  | A golden beer. Somewhat clashing malt and hop tastes which don’t really balance. |
