About 12:30 on a Saturday and all tables were occupied. Lots of conversation about micropubs and plans for a new one at Northwood which is "on the Loop" the Loop being the name for a very frequent circular 'bus route in Thanet.
| Four Candles - Admiral | 4.40 | | A nice hoppy beer, I stopped for a second one. |
| Cotleigh - Osprey | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Jarrow - Rivet Catcher | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

I dashed to get here before 2.30pm closing but I could have taken it easy as the pub was staying open all afternoon. Some people who left the Yard of Ale before me wondered how I managed to get here before them, well sometimes it is quicker on foot.
| Four Candles - Target | 4.50 | | |
| Exe Valley - Darkest Devon | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - Single Hop Huell Melon | 4.30 | Not Tried | |

I was the first customer in at opening time, but before long I was joined by others, and in true micro-pub tradition everybody was talking to each other. The landlord gave me a progress report on the micro-brewery which is currently being installed in the cellar. Unfortunately I have mislaid my notes on the beers, so no report this time, sorry.

Here for opening on Saturday evening. Love this place. Simple straight up micropub.
| Goacher's - Fine Light Ale | 3.70 |  | Great condition. Bit malty for me. |

| Dorset Brewing Company - Flashmans Clout | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

Evening. Half a dozen or so in. Wonder what effect the opening of the nearby Yard of Ale Micropub will have. Will business levels support both.
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - Single Hop Calypso | 4.60 | | Temperature and condition good. Tasty single hop brew |
| Exe Valley - It's Phil's Ale | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| WharfeBank - Golden Ticket | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

2nd evening visit after unsuccessful jaunt to pub across the road. By now one of the Hartley Morris Men was singing along to his banjo with a very melodious and soulful voice.
| Mauldons - Black Adder | 5.30 | | |
| Hammerpot - Red Hunter | 4.30 |  | Flat as a proverbial pancake and little condition |
| Canterbury Brewers - Little Red Rye | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

Mid evening visit. Good crowd in including some Broadstairs Folk Festival campers doubling as members of the Hartley Morris Men side. Not sure if the massive array of pump clips adorning and obscuring the pub windows is such a good idea.
| Canterbury Brewers - Little Red Rye | 4.50 | | Not really to my palate |
| Mauldons - Black Adder | 5.30 | Not Tried | |
| Hammerpot - Red Hunter | 4.30 | Not Tried | |

First visit and far too short as I had a train to catch. But certainly worth returning.
| Corvedale - Golden Dale | 4.20 | | |
| Brentwood - Hero | 3.80 | | |
| Dartford Wobbler (re-named from Millis) - Kentish Gold | 4.10 | | |
