Saturday evening, comfortably busy. Met up with Andrew through a mutual friend. Good chat about the origins of this site and reminiscences about past and present pub gems. And if your ears were burning we also had a bit to say about a number of the P&B regulars - all respectful of course.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frome (formerly Milk Street) - Funky Monkey (organic) | 4.00 | | Very good body with a slight sweetness. |
| Pig & Porter - Big K Irish Pale Ale | 5.20 | | Very good, a bit fruity. |
| Brighton Bier - Underdog | 4.20 | | Landlord's recommendation - nice crisp dryness. |
| Mighty Oak - Oscar Wilde Mild | 3.70 | | Good smoky flavour but died a bit in the glass. |

Mid Saturday evening - packed. We took our dog - she is now eligible for the canine photo gallery in the toilet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time and Tide - Calista IPA | 6.10 | | I could only have a taster of this but it was pure delight - great condition, full body and great bitter hoppy bite. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | | |
| Mad Cat - Mild Disobedience | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Sat evening - well patronised - Xmas jumpers have now even invaded micro pubs. Good buzz and I had a personal tour by landlord Nigel of the racking system. Bliss.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Springhead - Robin Hood | 4.00 | | Good session beer - in excellent condition - my friend stayed on this all evening. |
| Mad Cat - Golden IPA (previously Meaney's Golden India Pale Ale) | 4.20 | | Excellent condition and a good body. |
| Goacher's - Fine Light Ale | 3.70 | | Light in name and flavour. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dark Conspiracy | 4.90 | | Thick, black and liquoricy. |

Very busy inside and out - nice atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Hylder Blonde | 4.20 | | Great beer - didn't discern the elderflowers of which it was supposed to have included though. |
| Kent - Beyond the Pale | 5.40 | | Wonderfully dry with a slightly nutty flavour and lingering bitter hoppy aftertaste. Barrel finished shortly after - could well have rated 5 stars earlier? |
| Kent - Session Pale | 3.70 | | Zesty - went down very easily. |
| Goody Ales - Bleangate Brewery - Good Heavens | 4.10 | Not Tried |

First time, and only a passing visit, good number of chairs and outside seats a bonus. Will most definitely return another time.

The pub is found in Tankerton, Kent, CT5 2AW.
A micropub in Tankerton Road which first opened on Friday 15th March 2013 located in 139B Tankerton Road. The name is a resurrection of the old Tankerton Arms pub which was highly regarded but converted to apartments sometime ago. The premises was formerly a tattoo parlour and the word Tattoo remains on the glass above the pub frontage. There is no bar counter and there are long wooden raised bench seats fitted to both the left and right hand walls each with 3 heavy chest-height wooden tables. At the back of the pub a glass door leads to the chilled gravity stillage room. A Unisex toilet with a double "kissing gate" entrance is provided. Sells real ales, ciders and red and white wine. Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year 2016. Subsequently moved to new premises, a few doors along, in late March 2018 to the former HSBC bank premises at 135 Tankerton Road, larger than the previous premises in all regards.
We have visited this pub 54 times, seen 167 different beers and tried 84 of them.
