Quiet afternoon. Prices have increased for stronger beers. Moved on after a half.
Boutilliers - Smoked Oatmeal Stout | 4.40 | | Good stout |

This is a new pub which has replaced the Thirty-Nine Steps Ale House which was a few doors down the road. A much larger pub than the one it has replaced and now with ales on handpump rather than on gravity dispense, a selection of keg and craft ales (whatever they are) is also available.
We found that the high ceilings made the place seem a bit noisy and thought that a few soft furnishings or baffles might help the acoustics.
Grainstore - Red Kite | 3.80 | | |
Skinner's - Betty Stogs Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Gale's Spring Sprinter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Two visits to the opening night of the Broadstairs brewery. The queue was way down the street. More like a beer festival. Loads of craft ales and 4 real ales on. A bar billiards table is upstairs. Well worth a visit.
Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Great beer and at £3 a great price. Went well with the pork pies. |

Few in. Preparations in hand for the move on Friday
Sharp's - Sea Fury | 5.00 | | Standard bitter. |
XT Brewing - Animal Brewing Hop Hound | 4.60 | | Nicely hoppy |

Another full micro. The new brew house opens next Friday at 7.30pm.
Boutilliers - 1848 Porter | 5.00 | | A good porter served at the right temperature. |

Came here after we'd left Mind The Gap to find a complete contrast, very busy with all tables taken so we decided to hotfoot it somewhere else.

Quiet but warm afternoon. New Brewery/ micro down the road still on track. Bar and stairs are in place.
Wild Weather - Wild Boys Texas Brown (collaboration with Yeastie Boys) | 5.50 | | Just the right temperature. Fruity darkish beer. |

Great atmosphere
Goacher's - 1066 Old Ale | 6.70 | | Superb |

The boss said he has tried to get the mild for 4 years. New pub should be opened in 5 weeks.
Sarah Hughes - Dark Ruby | 6.00 | | Yummy. |

Final stop on our pub crawl. The micro pub will be moving down the street in the next few weeks.
Boutilliers - Rauchbier | 6.10 | | Amazing beer. Smoky, pork flavoured...all sorts going on. I bought some pork scratchings to compare the smells. Real quality. Time to go home after this one. |
