Not to busy mid afternoon, came in to see if any of my short listed beer festival beers were on. Found two of them so a good result.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Central City Red Racer IPA | 6.50 | | Very nice, good malt base perfectly balanced by the hops, good finish, super. Despite the 6.5% this beer is so, so drinkable. |
| Batemans - Good George Pacific Pearl | 5.50 | | Nice dark IPA, a bit to much of the darkside perhaps, coffee and roast but still good. |

In Canterbury with a few minutes to spare and remembered spoons had their autumn beer festival on so decided to take a look.Not many people in tonight, still early though. Only listing the beer I tried.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Avery 3 Point 5 Session Ale | 3.50 | | Nice hoppy American ale,copper colour, thin white head. Hops strong but not harsh, could have drunk several of these, a bit lacking on the finish perhaps. |

Fairly quiet mid afternoon. I had set out to find a spoons with the Stone San Diego Session IPA on,and here it was first stop.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wadworth - Stone Brewing San Diego Session IPA | 4.50 | | Wow, I could smell the hop aroma just carrying the glass to the table. Super hop aroma, just like crushing a hop cone in your hand. Stunning hop taste with a long bitter finish, maybe very slightly harsh but still a super pint if you like overwhelming hops. |

Using the pen name Thomas Ingoldsby he wrote The Ingoldsby Legends, which first appeared in 1840, in a periodical edited by Charles Dickens. Richard Harris Barham, alias Thomas Ingoldsby, had an accident when he was 14, which crippled his right arm. During a long convalescence he began to write.
