A couple of people were in at the bar but other than that it was quiet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rooster's - Good Cheer | 3.70 | | I've not had this before so I don't know if it's supposed to taste like this or if it was on the turn but the apple-citric nature of it put me right off. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | | Took it back and they took it off and replaced it with something else |

Dead tonight, seems people have given up on this town. The line-up is pretty awful for the 'Pub of the year', hey-ho you can't win them all.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nethergate (was Nethergate Growler for a while then name reverted) - Old Growler | 5.00 | | Not as good as I remember but still pretty good. Roasted malt and a bit of chocolate. |

Out for St Patrick's day but for some reason Ramsgate is like a ghost town tonight, the quietest I've seen it in a long time. Still had a few drinks here before trying to find a bit of life.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Common Conspiracy | 4.80 | | I liked this a lot more than last years version. Really hoppy with a little sweet malt in there. |
| Adnams - Irish Dry Stout | 4.00 | | I was really impressed with this actually. Coffee and slightly soured fruit, classic tart stout flavour. Great beer. |

Really busy with a fair amount of excitement about the band soon to be playing. We listened to 3 songs before deciding it wasn't our cup of tea and headed back to the artillery, a bit barbershop for us. Recently announced as Thanet Camra pub of the year 2010.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Seasider | 4.30 | | Malty, fruity and hoppy a classic summer beer in my eyes. |

I didn't mind too much when Churchill's decided to show the Rugby, but showing the football is a bit far for me and it seemed to upset a few of the other regulars as well. Luckily it was only on briefly before a band started playing. Hendrix and The Doors covers mainly, perfect for a Sunday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ringwood - Old Thumper (now superseded by 5.1% version - separate entry) | 5.60 | | Strong fruity beer. |
| Ossett - Excelsius (was Excelsior) | 5.20 | | Hoppy and citrussy, pretty good beer. |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | | It's taken me a long time to realise but I'm not overly keen on this beer. Kept perfectly well. |

Really busy tonight, really good to see, however, the vast majority were all around 18 so did feel an old man which doesn't happen often.

A mates birthday so a group of us bundled in here. Showing the rugby tonight which was odd, seemed to work though as the pub was packed.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Festival | 5.00 | | Dark bitter with a sweet toffee and malt flavour. Can't say anything bad about a Dark Star beer. |
| Potbelly - Crazy Daze | 5.50 | | Sweet, fruity beer. Quite good if ever so slightly sweet for my palate. |

Nothing on at the cinema so thought we'd come out for a few pints instead. Bumped into a few old friends, other than that pretty uneventful.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brains - SA | 4.20 | | I remember it being better than this. Overly sweet, little malt and fruit in there but couldn't taste much past the sweetness. |

My mate was down from London so despite feeling hideous from the night before I was obliged to go out. A band were on and they weren't really our cup of tea so we ran away after just the one.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Original | 5.00 | | Rich, tangy and incredibly satisfying. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | Not Tried | |

Managed to gather enough pennies to be able to afford a couple of pints. Quiet and subdues tonight, midweek is often a depressing time in Ramsgate.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - 80/- | 4.60 | | Not as good as I've had recently, a little tart on the finish. |
