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| Ringwood - Old Thumper (now superseded by 5.1% version - separate entry) | 5.60 | | Strong fruity beer.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. |

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. |

Huge group of us taking up the entirety of the upstairs, almost reminded me of being back in the Munich beer halls. Great night, even managed to get the barmaid to join in the banter.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Seasider | 4.30 | | Sweet, fruity and hoppy amber ale. |
| Dark Star - Original | 5.00 | | Intense roasted malt and chocolate flavours, a true classic. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Little Cracker | 5.00 | | Rich, malty and creamy pint. Really satisfying. |
