Fairly busy on a Thursday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - KGB or Kent Golding Bitter | 4.10 | | Hoppy bitter with a good malt balance. My score 15/20. |
26 Jan 2012 (Martin the Mildman)
Reasonably busy early on a Thursday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nelson - Raging Storm | 5.00 | | One dimensional bitterness from the malt and yeast combination favoured by this brewery. Little hop character and a dry, tangy bitter finish. My score 9/20. |

The pub is found in Gravesend, Kent, DA12 1AH.
Typical town centre Wetherspoon's, named after the printer and publisher who introduced Gravesend's first printing press, in 1786, and opened the town's first library at the back of his high-street shop. At his premises, in High Street, he published illustrated children's books, including Reading Made Easy and, in 1797, The History of Gravesend and Milton - the first history book of Gravesend. Narrow frontage (actual frontage on two separate streets) leads to a large interior on two levels although only one bar serving counter which has 12 handpumps in 2 banks each of 6.
We have visited this pub 55 times, seen 187 different beers and tried 56 of them.
