Surprisingly busy for half 3 on a monday afternoon. My excuse was I had just been to the dentist.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conwy (Bragdy Conwy) - Riptide | 4.30 | | A lower strength "black IPA", this was very drinkable. |
| Banks's - Vasileostrovsky Siberian Red | 6.00 | | |
| Inveralmond - Frisco Steamy | 4.40 | | |
| RCH - Wheat Beer | 4.40 | | |
| Wadworth - Deschutes Twilight Pale Ale | 5.00 | | Unfortunately this was lacking condition and taste. All that was left was a faint aroma promising what might have been. Hope to see this elsewhere. |

The pub is found in Tonbridge, Kent, TN9 1AP.
Located in the High Street this vast barn-like Wetherspoon pub was a post office for most of the 20th century. Before 1908, the 'We Three Loggerheads' pub stood on this site, with Humphrey Bean as its landlord. Banks of 6 handpumps adorn either end of the long bar counter to dispense the real ales here.
We have visited this pub 154 times, seen 359 different beers and tried 212 of them.
