Some friends of mine from Finland were over and wanted to visit a real traditional English pub, where better than The Arty?
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hopdaemon - Incubus | 4.00 | | Ever reliable. |
| Wantsum - Turbulent Priest | 4.40 | | A lot better than the first time I had this. Full bodied beer with roasted malt and fruit. Lovely. |
| Tring - Huck Me Buck | 4.40 | | Fruity, malty bitter. Not too shabby. |
| Rudgate - Well Blathered | 5.00 | | Light and hoppy with a grassy floral taste. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Dropped in after playing some football down the road. Beer line-up was pretty dire and I wasn't too comfortable with the sort of people drinking in here either. Hopefully it's just a blip and the place isn't on the slide.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Springhead - Roaring Meg | 5.50 | | This one's not bad, in fact it was quite nice. Sweet and fruity with just a little spice. Would expect a little more flavour for 5.5% if I'm going to be critical. |
| Loddon - Ferryman's Gold | 4.40 | | Sweet and slightly buttery. My tastebuds must be changing because I found this too sweet today. |
| Triple fff - Stairway | 4.60 | | Not bad but not that memorable. A little dusty with some fruit, pretty boring beer in my opinion. |

Had an hour to kill before work so what else to do but nip into the Arty? Grabbed a paper and sank a quick pin, very nice it was too.

Dropped in for the usual mid week drink. Usual characters in and the beer was on good form as per usual.

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.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Potbelly - Bellowhead Hedonism | 4.50 | | Very pale , hoppy ale. Very drinkable. |
