Saturday evening. Nicely busy. Previous landlord and landlady just turned up.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arbor Ales - C Bomb | 4.70 | | Heavy grapefruit. I didn’t drop it (geddit?) |
| Kent - The Quiet American | 4.20 | | Yummy |
| Oakham - Scarlet Macaw | 4.40 | | Was about to leave when I spotted this lurking by the now very busy “landlady’s corner”. Oakham is still going strong thankfully. |

Mid evening. Unusually quiet in here tonight. Just 3 of us in the bar. Good ales, daft conversation. A Ruby Mild on also - not sure whose.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muirhouse - Big Bertha! | 4.00 | | A really zesty, fruity pale al, sparklingly clear. |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |

Early Friday evening. A good smattering of people in all areas and plenty of comings and goings as I supped and chatted. This is an outstanding Canterbury pub, good variety of ales on at an average of £4 a pint.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Stan the Man | 4.20 | | First time I’d come across this beer from Gadd’s. Full of flavour and great body. |
| Kent - Prohibition | 4.80 | | Just wasn’t as tasty as the Gadd’s, but a lovely pint nonetheless. |
| Kent - Nah Na Nah | 4.50 | | A tribute to the vindaloo football anthem. |
| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Settle - Old Smithy Porter | 4.70 | Not Tried | |

Evening visit, beer festival - just missed the band who had finished well before the advertised end time of 8. The beers have obviously been going well and only two remained outside with the “reserves” already on inside. Won’t be worth a special visit Monday. Plenty of people inside and out - a good vibe. About 8 ales on in total.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salopian - Oracle | 4.00 | | |
| Moorhouse's - Pride of Pendle | 4.10 | | One of the two beer festival ales left outside. Rather flat and unremarkable. |
25 May 2024 (Jack William)

Met up with Martin for a few pints. Good fun.

Evening. I had been decorating for 9 hours, ached all over but needed a pint. Good therapy here as usual.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | | Spot in. |
| 4T's - Passion Storm | 4.80 | | I was told to expect a very fruity beer - but not that it would look like pea soup. I asked if it was unfined, the answer was “yes, but not THAT unfined!” Promptly swapped and taken off sale. |

Late lunchtime - the bus passers were out on a “5th Thursday” jaunt. Well, that only happens every 28 years on average in February. Only the six of us in.
5 other beers on, not noted.
