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.

| Loddon - Ferryman's Gold | 4.40 | | Nice pale ale, although it had a slight buttery taste that I found a little offputting. |

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.

Dropped in for a pint before and after the quiz up the road. Not that many in tonight which is a shame as the line-up was cracking.

| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Black Pearl Oyster Stout | 6.20 | | Very rich, very black and very heavy. Lovely stout but I couldn't have a second. |

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. |

| Marble - Lagonda IPA | 5.00 | | Fantastic IPA. Very pale, crisp and very hoppy. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Triple fff - Hallelujah | 4.00 | | Nice golden ale with a little citrus and a touch of spice. Surprisingly excellent. |
| Castle Rock - Harvest Pale | 3.80 | | Very quaffable pale ale. |
| Salopian - Hop Twister | 4.50 | | Slightly darker pale ale, very good drop of beer. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Thoroughly Modern Mild | 6.00 | | I want to love this beer but I don't. A little sweet and cloying for me. |

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.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

Dropped in at around 10 for a couple before I headed to the airport. Really busy for that time of night, sat up top and listened to some Psychedelic Rock to go with our beers. Fantastic.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orkney (Sinclair) - Dark Island | 4.60 | | Smoky, oily old ale. Smooth and velvety. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Bock | 6.00 | | Fantastic dubbel/bock style beer. Incredibly rich with loads of dark fruit and molasses. Awesome beer but I'd struggle with two. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | | Haven't had this in years, after this it'll probably be another few years. Creamy and very sweet, a little malt in there. For me it's just far, far too sweet. |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
