Early evening soon after opening, and already a good few customers enjoying the ales. I picked up a few of the latest London travel maps and a copy of London Drinker. A great pity that the rail service to Ramsgate has suffered because of the Olympic timetable.
| Wantsum - One Hop Willamette | 4.50 |  | |
| Sambrook's - Wandle | 3.80 |  | A well kept pint, but not my favourite beer. |

Curtailed mid to late evening visit due to Olympics driven cessation of high speed trains east of Ashford. A good crowd of locals in despite imminence of the Olympics opening ceremony on TV.
| Wantsum - Ravening Wolf | 5.90 | | The obvious favourite here tonight. Dry hoppiness just right for me |
| Goody Ales - Bleangate Brewery - Good Heavens | 4.10 | | Had a couple. A sweetish bitter brew |
| Sunny Republic - Dolphin | 4.20 | Not Tried | Despite its short life a brewery that is getting about a bit |

2025 hours visit. A good crowd in and all seated. Blimey it's early June and still feeling blowy Autumnal.
| Nelson - Black Jack | 5.40 | | Being sold on discount. Full bodied porter style beer. 2 pint carry-home for the train sipped slowly was most enjoyable |

2025 hours visit with the pub in full swing as always. Autumnal feel to this late Spring day but who cares as the seaside is always best when out of season!
| Hopdaemon - Green Daemon | 5.00 | | A good hop hit |
| Canterbury Brewers - Le Petit Belge | 4.40 | | Definitely "that" Belgian beer taste but did not want a second |
| Springhead - Black Tom | 3.80 | Not Tried | Springhead's seasonal mild |

17 Apr 2012 (Philip Pirrip)
Never been on a Tuesday before. All familiar faces though and good craic abounded until we were herded out as must be.
| Wantsum - Ravening Wolf | 5.90 | | Bit of a skull attack. Punched well above its 5.9% weight. Dangerously drinkable but closing time curtailed that urge. |
| Nelson - Defiance | 3.70 | | A dark golden ale with a good balanced taste of hops and brewed with German yeast to give a smooth finish. Not normally a fan of Nelson beers but did enjoy this one.
|
| Milestone - Green Man | 4.50 | | A golden beer. Much drier taste than the Nelson beer that preceded it. |
