Excellent brewpub. Too full for our liking. A man with a big bum was boasting how his bum was all over the papers this weekend because he had it painted like a pumpkin. No one had seen it however.Apart from me who saw it on Saturdays Jonathan Ross show! Wish I hadnt.
| Four Candles - All Black IPA | 4.50 |  | Read about this on their facebook page. Their first Dark beer. Wow. Simply stunning. |

About 12:30 on a Saturday and all tables were occupied. Lots of conversation about micropubs and plans for a new one at Northwood which is "on the Loop" the Loop being the name for a very frequent circular 'bus route in Thanet.

I dashed to get here before 2.30pm closing but I could have taken it easy as the pub was staying open all afternoon. Some people who left the Yard of Ale before me wondered how I managed to get here before them, well sometimes it is quicker on foot.

I was the first customer in at opening time, but before long I was joined by others, and in true micro-pub tradition everybody was talking to each other. The landlord gave me a progress report on the micro-brewery which is currently being installed in the cellar. Unfortunately I have mislaid my notes on the beers, so no report this time, sorry.

Evening. Half a dozen or so in. Wonder what effect the opening of the nearby Yard of Ale Micropub will have. Will business levels support both.
