Started the night in here before moving on to Broadstairs. It was really busy in tonight. Stuck some Fleetwood Mac on the jukebox and had some great beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Blue Top | 4.80 | | Very good beer. Will always dispute it being an IPA though... |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | Solid pint of this. |
| RCH - Double Header | 5.30 | | Nice fruity beer. |
| Milestone - Shine On | 4.00 | | Overpowering eggy aroma, had two swigs before dispatching it to the slops bucket. |

Dropped in for a couple before work. Meat raffle was in full swing and everyone was in a jovial mood.

|---|---|---|---|
| Rudgate - Ruby Mild | 4.40 | | Fantastic dark mild. |
| Wolf - Granny Wouldn't Like It !!! | 4.80 | | I thought I liked this beer but on this occasion it wasn't great. A little tangy and tasted on the verge of being off. |

Just dropped in for the one before I had to achive something with the evening. Fair smattering of locals in a variety of alcohol induced conditions.

This pub always seem to be busy, we sat at the upper level, and enjoyed a beer and a chat. Unfortunately I did not make a note of all the beers on offer.

I have been loving the Artillery just lately, after a few months of barely ever visiting I now can't stay away. Tonight was another good one, great beer and great banter. Although it seems to have attracted the biker community just lately, haven't decided what I think of that just yet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | | Top notch pale ale, incredibly hoppy. Beautiful. |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Copper Top | 4.10 | | Fantastic dark bitter. Rich and chocolatey but with that classic bitter english flavour. I love this beer. |
| Hopdaemon - Golden Braid | 3.70 | | Good refreshing ale. |

Don't get here often now as my evenings are usually taken up with work so it's nice to be back. Not many in tonight only half a dozen round the bar. Music was good, conversation even better.

|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - DogBolter Dark Porter | 5.60 | | Top notch. |
| Buntingford - Highwayman IPA | 3.60 | | Sweet and malty beer. In a blind tasting I would have guessed it was a cottage beer, says it all really. |
