12:00 live. Came to sunny Canterbury to visit the now closed prison for it's heritage open weekend before redevelopment. Alas, "ticket only" so they wouldnt' let me in? Never mind. This excellant gbg is down the road with just me and the pub puss enjoying the sun? And landlord Bob informs me the new beer from his Cossack micro is boiling away and will be ready for launch at the upcoming Green Hop festival. Fingers crossed?
