3 beers on and quiz evening. Boss was pleased to hear about magnus' review of the Conk, even though Colin, original owner was in the bar. I think he meant the second owners.

Kent - Tech Noir6.10ExceptionalThis stout was superb. Pity magnus could only have a half. I'm on my second pint.

Mid afternoon and busy with regulars. Much more friendly and welcoming from the current licencees compared to the previous thus we enjoyed our extended stay.

Another not visited since this time last year. Busy for my mid-afternoon visit. A friendly welcome and prompt service in this fine little micro and bingo, I was able to still follow the green hop theme here as well.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Chislet - Wild Lane - Green Hop Pale Ale (2024)4.00Good5th and last visit of the day in Ramsgate was this green hop that was slightly minus head and lacing but a lovely hoppy mouthfeel. It had a dry aftertaste with a mildly fruity flavour added in and so a touch applely to my taste-buds.
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Dark Conspiracy4.90Not TriedA hoppy porter.

Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur5.90AcceptableThis was on special at £3.50, However it was obvious it was on the way out. In hindsight, I would have tried something else. Still acceptable.
