A roasting day so the seats outside were full. But that left the seat by the Fremlins window with its view of the cathedral spires free.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Red Top | 3.80 | | There's something about Red top's sweet malty simplicity that I like. I like the simple idea of it as much as the beer itself. |

I do love this pub. Sat under the Fremlins window or course and listened to an eclectic range of music - mainly the kind of stuff I imagine Brian likes (skar, punk, indie) and a bit of Fleetwood Mac too.

If I'd been a student in Canterbury I've failed the first year because I'd have spent all my time in here.

Heaving. We squeezed in at the back and tried not to intrude to much into the conversation of a group of ladies out for the night.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Red Top | 3.80 |  | The first pint was vinegar so they changed it with no fuss. The first one of the new barrel was fine. |
