First day of the beer festival and there are actually enough beers on for me to do a three thirds round.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Batemans - Brouwerij 't IJ Ijbok | 6.00 | | Ruby colured strong ale that actually worked for me. Sweet with fruity hop flavours and some malt. Full bodied with a lingering fruity finish. My score 16/20. |
| Caledonian - Devil's Advocate | 4.20 | | Ruby coloured lager style beer with good malt character, low hoppiness and some fruit in the finish. My score 15/20. |
| Titanic - Golden Porter | 4.70 | | Interesting beer style that worked quite well. Smooth tasting, quite bitter with a dryish finish. My score 15/20. |

The pub is found in Tonbridge, Kent, TN9 1AP.
Located in the High Street this vast barn-like Wetherspoon pub was a post office for most of the 20th century. Before 1908, the 'We Three Loggerheads' pub stood on this site, with Humphrey Bean as its landlord. Banks of 6 handpumps adorn either end of the long bar counter to dispense the real ales here.
We have visited this pub 153 times, seen 357 different beers and tried 211 of them.
