The second day of opening, and I felt that a visit was long overdue. I arrived just after 12:00 and the pub gradually filled up with a good mix of people including a former employee of Tomson and Wotton Brewery, some local historians, and Martyn from the Butchers Arms.

Beer	ABV	Notes
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Rye Pale Ale	4.00
Wantsum - More's Head (previously 3.4% & 3.5%)	3.70	A good tasty session bitter. Slightly lacking in condition but very enjoyable.
Dark Star - Green Hop IPA	6.50

Got there at opening time. Colin the host has done a superb job on this micro pub and I wish him well. The beers were in excellent form and went down too well.
