Busy outside the pub but lots of free seating inside. Ian and I sat at the back and drank beer - because that's what pubs are for.

Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Wife of Bath's Ale3.90ExcellentExcellent beer this but served too warm again. Ian's pint of Dr Sunshine was about 4 degrees colder than mine. Drop the temperature and it would have been outstanding.

Just sat outside the pub and had the one pint on this lovely stretch of road. We would have stayed longer but on a day like that a beer garden beckons.

Sat at the back near, but not under, the Fremlins window. Sat down with my pint and Velvet Underground came on the jukebox. Great jukebox here.

Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Wife of Bath's Ale3.90ExcellentSuperb beer. Less toasted-nut today (which was a shame) and more juicy-fruits in the grapefruit hop bite (which was different).
