Lynnes birthday so out for a pub crawl, procecco, pizza and beer. 4 beers on and rising prices here. One beer on at £6.80 a pint, one at £4. Big difference.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren Craft - Broken Dream Breakfast Stout | 6.50 | | Very nice. £4.80 a pint. 12 minutes wait to be served. One bloke couldn't cope here today. |

Afternoon visit to the newly crowned local poty. Beers have gone up in price and were very cold, but a popular selection was on offer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | | Ice cold and £4.40 a pint. But enjoyable and flavoursome. |
| Titanic - Plum Porter | 4.90 | | £4.20 and ice cold on a wet afternoon. Very nice despite the temperature. Of the beer not the cold day! |

First visit. 6 beers on all at £4 a pint. 2 could be had at mind the gap 25% cheaper. Most expensive micropub we found in Broadstairs today. Think landlor needs to check prices in other micros not the sheps pubs.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Prohibition | 4.80 | | Nice pint |
| Shivering Sands - Ribersborg Stout | 4.70 | | Nice. |
