Friday evening visit as I saw they had Oakham’s Tranquility on. Busy with familiar and not-so-familiar faces.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Tranquility | 6.50 | | So drinkable for a strong ale - just a tad on the sweet side or this may have got top marks from me. |
| Fyne - FyneBank | 4.60 | | I was almost dissuaded from tying this as it was described by another customer as having a medicinal flavour. I really liked it - thought it was similar to a peaty malt whisky that had been diluted. yummy. |
| Mobberley - Boom Juice | 3.60 | | A good warm up for the Tranquility. |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Back for the Freeborn Brothers music set on Sunday afternoon of the beer festival. Very good band “Polish Gypsy/Punk/Hobo Trash Band”.
Very busy in the garden, a bit of space on the pub. Great atmosphere.
Some other beers still on from Thursday.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moor - Hoppiness | 6.50 | | Oh yes - body and flavour superb. |
| Castle Rock - Elsie Mo | 4.70 | | Fresh, nice. |
| Isle of Avalon - Sunset | 4.30 | | Marked up as 5%. Pleasant. |
| Box Steam - Stoker’s Quench | 4.40 | | I have a soft spot for this brewery because of its location near the K&A canal, but this was quite an ordinary malty bitter. |
| Three Sods - Mon Chéri IPA | 4.50 | | This was 3/4 pint at the end of the barrel - gratis - still a very crisp, clean IPA - surely would have rated excellent at its best. |
| Harvey's - IPA | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Musket - Matchlock Mild | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Bank Holiday beer festival - excellent choice - about 12 on at a time with about 20 over the weekend - and an appearance from Gadd’s brewer (with her mum!)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| St Austell - Liquid Sunshine | 3.90 | | Very popular - favourite to be the first to go. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Cloud Surfer | 4.50 | | Superb complex flavours. |
| Three B's - Bee Thrifty | 3.40 | | |
| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | | Selling this off at £3 a pint to make room for more beer festival ales. |
| Fuzzy Duck - Cunning Stunt | 4.30 | | Trad bitter rather lacking the body its strength suggested. |
| Great Orme - Red Dragon | 4.50 | | Red, thin, that’s about it. |
| Castle Rock - Elsie Mo | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Frog Island - Natterjack (aka Pale) | 4.80 | Not Tried | |

|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | | |
| Oakham - Mompesson's Gold | 5.20 | | Unusual flavour for Oakham’s - not the big hoppy bite, more a mellow, rather sweet ale. |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 3 | 5.00 | Not Tried | |

Lunchtime - surprisingly quiet - but chairs being arranged for the expected rush to watch the rugby later.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - West Coast IPA | 5.60 | | Superb rich flavours. Pricing at this pub is by ABV - so this was £4.20 - a full £1 more expensive than the Burning Sky Plateau. |
| Burning Sky - Plateau (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | | Very refreshing and very light. |

Sunday evening- a few in, nostalgic sounds on the juke box. Name that tune: "you would cry too if it happened to you".
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | In top condition. |
| Oakham - Bishops Farewell | 4.60 | | |
| Angels & Demons (now uses McCanns branding not its own) - A.D.H. ME | 5.20 | | Only had a taster, but it was rather flat and cloudy, so I declined. Cellarman said it has been on a few days. |
| Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
