Visits Details

06 May 2017 (Dosser)

Two visits to the opening night of the Broadstairs brewery. The queue was way down the street. More like a beer festival. Loads of craft ales and 4 real ales on. A bar billiards table is upstairs. Well worth a visit.

28 Apr 2017 (Magnus Greel)

Came here after we'd left Mind The Gap to find a complete contrast, very busy with all tables taken so we decided to hotfoot it somewhere else.

The boss said he has tried to get the mild for 4 years. New pub should be opened in 5 weeks.

Final stop on our pub crawl. The micro pub will be moving down the street in the next few weeks.

Beer	ABV	Score	Notes
Boutilliers - Rauchbier	6.10		Amazing beer. Smoky, pork flavoured...all sorts going on. I bought some pork scratchings to compare the smells. Real quality. Time to go home after this one.

Never been here before. I liked it. We sat at the side and planned how we were going to bottle a pin of Goachers Old.

Beer	ABV	Score	Notes
TicketyBrew - Coffee Milk	5.10		Perfectly drinkable but not to my taste. Powdery tart sweet sickly instant coffee.
Skinner's (now brewed by Goodh) - Christmas Fairy	3.90	Not Tried
Maregade - Blonde Pale	4.80	Not Tried
Kelham Island (probably brewed by Thornbridge now) - Shindig	4.30	Not Tried

Website.

The pub is found in Broadstairs, Kent, CT10 1LR.

First incarnation was a former Pet Food shop converted into a micropub in 5 Charlotte Street specialising in cask ales and ciders. Opened on the 30th November 2012. The casks were visible racked behind the bar behind glass frontage. High tables with similarly high wall mounted bench seating abounds. Plans to relocate to a nearby much larger street corner premise at 11-13 Charlotte Street came to fruition on Friday Friday 5th May 2017 and this originally incorporated a brewhouse for what would have been Broadstairs Town Brewery perhaps in 202??! but it never came to fruition. 8 handpumps and 10 keg beer taps in the new location. Bar billiards upstairs where is some extra seating too. The new venue is too large to be a micropub so best called an alehouse or really just a pub. Change of name in 2024 and now with 5 handpumps and 18 keg taps.

We have visited this pub 89 times, seen 159 different beers and tried 105 of them.
