Early evening and fairly busy but plenty of room to find a seat. A good welcome to a pub I had not visited before.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | In contrast to the the Oatmeal Pale this was an excellent malty brew. |
| Wantsum - Turbulent Priest | 4.40 | | Replacement for the Hengist and in excellent condition. |
| Brass Castle - Oatmeal Pale | 4.60 | | The Topaz and Boadicea hops gave this light ale an excellent flavour. |
| Wantsum - Hengist | 5.00 | | Not in the best condition and changed without question when returned. |
| Dartford Wobbler (re-named from Millis) - Dartford Wobbler | 4.30 | Not Tried |

I hadn’t been in here since the old days when I used to use it on occasion as a waiting room for the overnight ferry to Ostend. Quiet in the afternoon.

Just made it in before the poor barmaid rang for time. Had a swifty before venturing into the chaos that is the town centre. Won't rate the beer I had as the badge said it was dark star revelation but it clearly wasn't the right beer.

Pretty quiet really but still had some of the usual characters. Jukebox has definitely gone downhill, where's the Led Zeppelin!!
