Late afternoon on the D-Day date. A small cabal of contributors to this site all in one place - recipe for noise and confusion. The Guv Ray neither kicked us out nor banned us so guess we behaved sufficiently.
| Okell's - IPA (or Dr Okell's IPA) | 4.50 |  | |
| Rudgate - Marston Moor Mongrel's Mumbo Jumbo | 4.10 | | |
| Loddon - Gravesend Shrimpers Bitter | 4.10 | Not Tried | |

Late afternoon. We were joined by Philip Pirrip out in daylight. Highly unusual. My first visit here and I liked it a lot. Our group now numbered six and we had an enjoyable time.
| Okell's - IPA (or Dr Okell's IPA) | 4.50 |  | |
| Loddon - Gravesend Shrimpers Bitter | 4.10 | | |

Late afternoon after a local £3 haircut. Lively comings and goings - as if the pub had been in situ for years.
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 3 | 5.00 | | In fine form |
| Highwood - Essex IPA | 3.60 | | Badged here as Canndo brewery from Chelmsford but I think that is the wholesaler's title. More a brownish standard bitter than an IPA - dryish and somewhat malty |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | Sells very well here but not to my palate |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Copper Top | 4.10 | Not Tried | Just sold out |
06 Apr 2013 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening. A crowd of well oiled Bexley Beer Festival volunteers in situ after an early sell-out there.
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Blue Top | 4.80 | | In first rate condition |
| Triple fff - Alton's Pride | 3.80 | | |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |

Evening. This Micropub has bedded in nicely after just 12 days since opening. Local CAMRA enthusiasts discussing their forthcoming branch beer festival.
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Copper Top | 4.10 | | Best Copper Top I have had anywhere - fine condition |
| Purity - Pure UBU | 4.50 | | |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |

Afternoon as passing by and nosing around. This will be the first Micropub in Greater London. Guvnor Ray is working like a trojan to finish off the building and open up perhaps next week. The first beers have been delivered and stand on their ends in waiting a trip to the gravity stillage.
