Evening until close. A toerag street person walked in nonchalantly and tried to snatch my carrier bag off the bar hook. Ironically, one wonders what she would have done with it as it contained only a Fuller's boxed bottle of 10.7% Imperial Stout given to me by a friend earlier in Margate. You couldn't make it up could you?

19 Jul 2014 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until close. All the talk this side of the bar was about the sale of the pub to Fuller's and the predicted changes for the worst that they all expected.

Fyne - Maverick | 4.20 | | |
Harvey's - R | 2.80 | | I enjoyed this having been given a taster earlier in the evening. Distinct bitter for such low abv. Harvey's spiel says this has been brewed and marketed to appeal to the increasing number, 49% of consumers surveyed, looking to moderate their drinking |
