Only 2 others in which is odd for a Saturday afternoon. Beer line-up was pretty uninspired and subsequently we only stayed for the one. There's much better options than this in Ramsgate these days.

Elgood's - Indian Summer4.80AcceptableTasted tired and thin yet the barmaid assured me it was fresh on yesterday, can only mean they're not keeping it right.

Rarely seem to get to Ramsgate these days so it's always nice to get back to the old local. Usual crowd in, perhaps slightly depleted due to the event at The Monty.

Couple of afternoon drinks, only a few others in but the atmosphere was friendly and jovial.

Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's)3.40GoodNot the best hophead I've tasted, a little bit flat and not as hoppy as usual.

Only a smattering of people in, some enjoying the chicken padina on offer for Wednesday's curry night. Only stopped for one as I fancied something stoutish.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Vale - Artful Bodger4.10GoodDark, full-bodied bitter with a tasty chocolate malty flavour. Very quaffable but couldn't help thinking a little more oomph to it would make it a special beer.

Glorious day outside so dropped in to hide from the sun. Quite busy for half one in the afternoon. Whiled away a few hours listening to Soundgarden and Black Sabbath on the jukebox, perfect.

The afternoon drinking session seems to have become a weekly thing now. Only two other hardened drinkers in at 2pm. Shame as it was a cracking line-up.
BeerABVScoreNotes
