Saturday afternoon, they were adverising "curry's" for £2.99 so I had a curry to accompany my pint. The lady behind the bar did not appear to understand my comments about the apostrophe on their menu.

Ran into ChrisE here. Unfortunately I happened to have the last of the Westerham Uppin Smoke. I spent 90 mins going through some Scoopgen yahoo group threads and amazed at the number of new London breweries.

| Westerham - Uppin Smoke | 4.00 | | Yep, this is a smoked beer made in Kent and tasty as hell. |
| Brains - SA Gold | 4.30 | | I saw that I'd really liked this before so tried it again. More malty and less hoppy than when I had it before. OK. |
| Brewster's - Pandora | 4.80 | | Just not my thing but in good condition and perfectly fine. |

It rained. It was a Saturday afternoon and seriously, I really had nothing better to do. They have had a number of Nelson beers in recently, but pleased to see on this visit that Westerham were coming back.

| Westerham - Uppin Smoke | 4.00 | | It's a lager. it's smoked. What's not to like? Loved it. Good mouth feel, good condition. The smoke is a little smoked fish and a tad woody, but decent. I drank two pints of it and wondered where it had gone to. Will come back for an aperatif for Sunday lunch. |

Curry club evening, I must say I was tempted.

| Westerham - Alt Ego | 4.00 | | Superb, the only problem there was only just about one pint in the cask, they just about filled my glass and offered to change it if it was not alright. I enjoyed the beer, and decided to go home. |

Jaipur Jaipur Jaipur. Tried to get the concept over to the staff that I wanted them to order this beer again. Not sure I was 100% successful. They didnt seem to understand that someone could love a beer so much.
