"Kingstonbury" music and beer festival. Bands on in the garden, we sat on the decking out the back in the sun.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Beyond the Pale | 5.40 | | I agree with Mick, the best beer on show - a bit of a cross between Hophead and Jaipur. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - She Sells Sea Shells | 4.70 | | Excellent summer ale |
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Merchant's Ale | 4.00 | | Really good stout |
| Mad Cat - Special Relationship Anglo-American Pale Ale | 4.80 | | Also excellent. Fruity with sherbet hop. |
| Musket - Trigger | 3.60 | | Fresh and hoppy. All the beers I had were in excellent condition |
