Evening. Too late for unforeseen earlier 9pm Friday closing tonight. Maybe Guv Ray had heard that Balotelli was on his way to give him a kiss!! Being serious there had been an emergency.
13 Jun 2014 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until close.
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Common Conspiracy | 4.80 | | 4½* - unbeatable condition for a beer with all the complex smells and tastes of a superb Kentish ale |

| B&T (Banks & Taylor's) - "On me 'ed son" | 4.10 | Not Tried | Only a taster - not fair to mark in full. Very dry aftertaste which I thought metallic but others here were loving it |

| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Red Top | 3.80 | | Top notch. Cellarmanship skills showing through |
