| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Seasider | 4.30 | | 4½* Exceptional even down to use of a chilled glass on such a warm day. If only all brewers could brew like this and all pubs dispense it so |

Evening visit. Always impressed by cask care and cask price here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Seasider | 4.30 | | First out a new cask. When I had arrived the previous cask had been very near the end, with the barmaid getting the customer before me to see if it was still acceptable, she and he confirmed a twang so time for cask replacement after a lengthy line cleaning operation. That's care! |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - West Coast IPA | 5.60 | | 4½* Would be difficult to better this |

| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - West Coast IPA | 5.60 | | Wonderful. Boss said he shouldn't have this on as Thorley has said its too pricey to buy. But Simon wants the full range available so....great for the customer. Bravo. |

The pub is found in Ramsgate, Kent, CT11 8NN.
Busy corner pub right in the centre of town in King Street. Attracts a mostly alternative crowd and there will often be heavy rock music on the jukebox. Several large TV screens for sport enthusiasts. There is a raised area to the rear. 3 handpumps on the lower bar counter. Deservedly awarded a CAMRA Good Beer Guide entry for 2021.
We have visited this pub 170 times, seen 56 different beers and tried 41 of them.
