Wow what a good line up of Kent beers. Well done.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Westerham - Summer Perle | 3.80 | | Light fruity with mellow pineapple hop |
| Westerham - Hop Rocket India Pale Ale | 4.80 | | Yeah hoppy in the "slightly pushing a imperial ipa" sense. Imperial ipa - can't believe I'm making reference to am American term for a non existent style. |
| Hopdaemon - Incubus | 4.00 | | No strawberry; just the reed. |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

| Whitstable - Native Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried | Went off as I ordered it. |

Saturday lunchtime. Thin Spoons crowd
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saltaire - Juniper Rye | 4.20 | | Good spice ok condition decent flavours. Interesting. |
| Greene King - Double Hop Monster IPA | 7.20 | | Bit boozy. Had this 4 times now and it varies from good to poor. This example is average as it reeks of alcohol on the aroma. |

11:30 visit. Took a day off work to show my two pals from Manchester around the best pubs in Canterbury. And they weren't disappointed either?
Having parked the car in the nearby Travel Lodge this was our first call and fairly busy too.

Not to busy mid afternoon, came in to see if any of my short listed beer festival beers were on. Found two of them so a good result.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Central City Red Racer IPA | 6.50 | | Very nice, good malt base perfectly balanced by the hops, good finish, super. Despite the 6.5% this beer is so, so drinkable. |
| Batemans - Good George Pacific Pearl | 5.50 | | Nice dark IPA, a bit to much of the darkside perhaps, coffee and roast but still good. |

Looking for something good from the beerfest, a bit underwhelmed by the choice.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| JW Lees (see also Lees) - Moonraker | 6.50 | | Lovely, rich dark, smooth and sweet. |

The pub is found in Canterbury, Kent, CT1 2HG.
Located in Burgate just off The Parade. Very substantial frontage but not too deep. History of pub name: Richard Harris Barham was born in 1788, at 61 Burgate, across the road from this Wetherspoon pub. Using the pen name Thomas Ingoldsby he wrote The Ingoldsby Legends, which first appeared in 1840, in a periodical edited by Charles Dickens. Richard Harris Barham, alias Thomas Ingoldsby, had an accident when he was 14, which crippled his right arm. During a long convalescence he began to write. Re-opened on 29th May 2018 after 4 months of closure to add hotel facilities (13 rooms) and an upstairs bar and bar counter.
We have visited this pub 109 times, seen 304 different beers and tried 146 of them.
