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.

In Canterbury with a few minutes to spare and remembered spoons had their autumn beer festival on so decided to take a look.Not many people in tonight, still early though. Only listing the beer I tried.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Avery 3 Point 5 Session Ale | 3.50 | | Nice hoppy American ale,copper colour, thin white head. Hops strong but not harsh, could have drunk several of these, a bit lacking on the finish perhaps. |

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 106 times, seen 295 different beers and tried 141 of them.
